Planting plan ideas: cottage border, gravel garden and kitchen garden

A planting plan reads the garden from above: circles for shrubs and perennials, drifts drawn as soft clouds, a path and a lawn edge. These nine range from a cottage border to a dry gravel garden and a raised-bed kitchen garden, drawn in plain black ink, fine hatched pen work, or soft colour washes — clean line ready to print, or reshape with a direction of your own.

Frequently asked questions

Are these plans to scale?

No — they're layout concepts showing plant groupings and drifts, not measured planting schedules. A gardener or designer adapts the shapes to the actual plot.

What size do the plans print at?

Each plan is drawn at landscape proportions (1216 by 832) with a white margin, sized for standard paper.

Can I get the same plan for a shady bed instead?

Yes — the direction field lets you ask for that change, and the plan is drawn again in the same clean line style.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
