A naturalistic planting plan for sunny, exposed gardens.
Wind can make choosing plants difficult. The Wind Garden takes the guesswork out of it.
This ready-made 3 × 5 metre planting plan brings together New Zealand native plants, ornamental grasses and flowering perennials for a garden that feels soft, layered and alive.
Designed in a naturalistic, new-perennial style, the plan combines grasses that move with the wind, flowering perennials that bring seasonal colour, and low-growing plants that weave through the garden.
15 m² · 47 plants · 9 plant types · Full sun · Windy, exposed sites
This plan is designed for a garden that:
is approximately 3 × 5 metres
receives at least 6 hours of direct sun
has average to free-draining soil
experiences regular wind and exposure
suits a naturalistic garden rather than a formal, tightly clipped style
The plants are selected for windy conditions but need some shelter from severe gales. The plan isn’t intended for deeply shaded gardens, permanently wet soil or extremely exposed seafront sites with regular salt spray.
This isn’t just a picture showing where to put some plants. You’ll receive a complete digital planting plan and guide to help you prepare, plant and establish your garden.
Your PDF includes:
the complete planting layout
numbered plant positions and exact quantities
planting distances and approximate mature plant sizes
information on all 9 plant types
soil, sun and site requirements
site preparation and step-by-step planting instructions
a shopping list and advice on buying plants and pot sizes
first-year establishment and watering guidance
advice for planting in windy conditions
ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting
plant substitution guidance
advice for adapting the plan to a moderately smaller or larger bed
what to expect as the garden establishes over its first few growing seasons
a practical planting-day guide
You can print the plan and take it outside with you while you plant.
It doesn’t have to be exact. The plan includes guidance for adapting the planting to a moderately smaller or larger bed while maintaining the intended spacing and relationships between plants.
For a significantly larger garden, you can repeat parts of the planting layout.
