The Garden Planner includes a selection of Sample Plans to help you begin planning your garden if you're not sure where to start. They include a range of garden types, from those suitable for beginners to a more ambitious feed-your-family garden.

Click on the Sample Plan tab.
You'll see a list of plans. Scroll down through the list to find one you'd like to try out.
