Garden Planning You Can Do on Your Lunch Break

There’s something deeply frustrating about loving your garden—but being stuck behind a computer most of the day.

You finish work, and there’s just enough time to walk outside, stare at a border you’re not quite happy with, and head back in for dinner. Weekends are packed. The weeds creep in. Progress feels slow.

That’s exactly why garden planning is so powerful. You don’t need perfect weather or hours of spare time. You just need a laptop, a bit of headspace, and the right tools.

With a proper plan in place, you can:

• Lay out your zones with confidence

• Place plants where they’ll thrive, not just fit

• Save money by only buying what you really need

• Turn your ideas into action—even if you’re short on time

It’s why I created the Accurate Garden Plan course. It teaches you to map your space using free tools like Google Maps and Google Slides—no expensive software or design background needed. It’s practical, visual, and entirely doable from your kitchen table.

If you’ve been following this email series and thinking “I’d love to do all this, I just don’t have time”—this is your place to start.

Because gardening isn’t just what you do outside. It starts in your head, with a plan that makes everything else easier.
