What you can do
Talk through a planting plan
BeeWise helps place plants, not just name them: spacing, companions and what to put where.
Fill a gap in a bed
There's space in a bed. Ask for plants that suit its light, soil and what the bed is for.
Review companions and spacing
Check that everything in a bed will work well together.
Keep a wishlist of plants you love
Spotted something on a garden visit, at a nursery or on Gardeners' World? Take a photo, even of the TV, and add it to your wishlist. BeeWise shows which of your beds it would be happiest in before you buy. Coming soon: help growing it from seed or cuttings.
See how a bed could look
Get planting and design ideas for your garden, then visualise how your own bed could look, from a photo of it. Illustrations are AI-generated ideas, not a promise of how plants will grow.
Plan planting that looks good together
BeeWise knows each plant's shape, colour and season, so what it suggests looks good with what you already grow, from where a new plant should go to ideas for your borders.
Find the best bed for a plant, or a better one
Find which of your beds suits a new plant best, or get advice on moving a plant that isn't happy where it is.
Everything here starts from what BeeWise already knows about your garden: your beds, their light and soil, your plants, photos and past jobs. The more you add, the more specific the help becomes.
Questions
- Can BeeWise suggest plants that suit my conditions?
- Yes. Add light and soil to a bed and say what it's for, such as cottage, wildlife or edible, and suggestions start from those conditions rather than a generic list.
- Can BeeWise show what my bed could look like?
- Yes. Inspiration designs include a personalised illustration made from a photo of your own bed. The free plan includes 1 design and Member+ includes 7 a month. They are AI-generated ideas, not a guarantee of how the planting will grow.
- Can it help me move a plant to a better spot?
- Yes. Ask about a plant that isn't doing well where it is and BeeWise compares your beds and suggests where it might be happier, and when to move it.
- Can I save plants I see at a nursery, a garden visit or on TV?
- Yes. Take a photo, even of the TV, and BeeWise identifies the plant and adds it to your wishlist. Each wishlist plant shows which of your beds it would be happiest in, so you know where it fits before you buy. Help growing wishlist plants from seed or cuttings is coming soon.
- Where should I plant something I've just bought?
- Identify it or scan its label, and BeeWise compares it with your beds' light, soil and what's already growing there, then suggests the bed it will do best in.
