How to Copy a Bed and Everything In It

Built a bed layout you like? Duplicate the whole thing — plants included — instead of rebuilding it.

Copy and paste a bed

1. Switch to the Layout tab and select the bed.
2. Press Ctrl/⌘+C to copy the bed and every plant in it.
3. Press Ctrl/⌘+V to paste.

Where the copy lands

• If your cursor is over the plan, the copy is centered under the cursor (kept inside the garden).
• Otherwise it lands a foot down-and-right of the original — or, if that doesn't fit, next to or below your existing beds. If the garden is full, it grows to make room.

Plants keep their exact positions within the new bed.

What doesn't carry over

Succession-planting chains aren't copied — the new bed's plantings start fresh, so set up successions on the copy if you need them.

Removing a bed

Select a bed on the Layout tab and press Delete or Backspace. This removes the bed and its plants. GardenDraft asks you to confirm first, because bed deletion can't be undone.
