I developed this style of planting plan over a number of years

My style of planting plan design is to use representative simple coloured circles to the final width of the plant using semi-transparency to see through them. The colour reflects either the main flower or leaf colour and they overlap as they will in real life, looking like a collage. Since sharing online and in my book A Greener Life, this style has been replicated by many other designers, hopefully demonstrating it works. I came up with this precise style because it’s simple, gives a general impression of the planting and fits my love of both minimalism and pop art.
