Exclusive Southern Living® Garden Plans by Plants by Number
Transform your outdoor space with ease and confidence! We’ve partnered with Plants by Number to bring you five stunning, professionally designed garden plans—each carefully crafted using gorgeous plants from the Southern Living® Plant Collection.
Planting a beautiful, balanced garden used to take hours of planning, measuring, and second-guessing.
With Plant By Number, we’ve taken all that complexity and turned it into a fun, foolproof experience. Each professionally designed layout comes with a garden map—a full-scale template printed directly onto landscape fabric. Every plant in your design has a dedicated spot marked with a number, so all you need to do is match the plant list, cut where indicated, and start planting. It’s like paint-by-number, but for your yard.
Whether you’re a first-time gardener or just short on time, Plant By Number gives you the confidence (and the plan) to make it happen. So easy the whole family can get involved, most designs can be installed in just a few hours. It’s the perfect weekend project—roll it out, grab your plants, and dig in. The result? A picture-perfect garden, professionally planned and joyfully planted by you.
