The honest small print

What to expect

Climate

We look up your town's recent temperature records to set frost months, coldest nights and warmest days. You see them before you pay and can change them. One year can still surprise you.

Plants vary

Varieties, compost, pests and heat waves all change results. The plan is a strong starting point, not a promise that every plant thrives.

What we don't do

Window Plot is an automated planning tool. We don't check your balcony's structure or weight limits, sell plants or pots, install anything, or have a person review each plan.
