Description
Plantyd lets you design a garden on a to-scale satellite view of your own yard. See how many hours of sun each spot gets, and watch the planting grow to year 15, so a shrub that fits today still fits at full size. Vegetable beds are part of the same design: sowing and harvest dates come from your local frost dates, and the sun map shows the shade your own trees cast on each bed. Print a plan with real measurements and a shopping list for the nursery. Free to start.

Could you build this?
Partial Basic 2D canvas garden layout is approachable, but integrating to-scale satellite imagery with accurate sun-exposure solar ray-tracing and a botanical growth simulation model is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: A production version requires integrating high-resolution aerial/satellite tile APIs (e.g., Google Solar API or Mapbox) with geospatial solar azimuth calculations that factor in local topography or building shadows. It also requires a custom procedural rendering engine to simulate 15-year botanical growth curves alongside a verified botanical database indexed by USDA hardiness zones.
