Imagine being able to create your dream garden with the simplicity of a paint-by-number kit. This is precisely what Plant By Number aims to achieve. The company has introduced a gardening solution that transforms ordinary yards into beautifully designed landscapes, eliminating the guesswork involved in selecting plants and determining their placement.
Plant By Number has recently launched its Kickstarter campaign to introduce printed-to-scale garden maps on a revolutionary new sustainable, biodegradable fabric made from corn. These maps, which have already garnered recognition in Better Homes & Gardens, are printed on weed-blocking fabric or biodegradable paper and serve as full-scale guides for effortless planting. Users simply roll out the map, match their plants to the designated spots, and start digging. The maps offer a variety of designs, including pollinator gardens, privacy screens, mailboxes, borders, and more.
For gardeners with unique spaces or existing plantings, Plant By Number provides fully custom garden maps tailored to any shape, size, or landscape challenge. Whether working around mature trees, incorporating existing shrubs, or planning for drip line irrigation, each design is thoughtfully crafted to fit the specific dimensions and needs of the site. These one-of-a-kind maps combine design expertise with practical functionality, empowering gardeners to transform even the most challenging areas into cohesive, thriving garden spaces.
“Our mission is to make professional-quality landscape design accessible to everyone,” says founder and veteran landscaper Alexander Betz. “And with this new bio-fabric, we’re making gardening easier and better for the planet.”
The new bio-fabric, which has been in development for years, is a renewable, 100% biodegradable material that blocks weeds, guides plant placement, and naturally breaks down over time, leaving behind healthy soil and thriving plants. This innovation marks a significant step forward in sustainable gardening.
Kickstarter backers will receive exclusive early access to garden map designs and special discounts, including customizable layouts and bundled kits with nationwide plant delivery. Thanks to partnerships with Green Promise Farms and Prides Corner Farms, customers can choose from thousands of plant varieties that will be shipped directly to their door.
