Sunny Splash

Sunny Splash takes the guesswork out of garden pond planting. Whether you are starting from scratch or reviving an overgrown pond, it guides you to a balanced, thriving water garden that looks beautiful, supports wildlife, and stays healthy through every season. Model your pond in seconds: enter its surface area, shape, and depth, then place real aquatic plants from a curated catalogue of 20 species across four depth zones — bog, shallow shelf, deep marginal, and deep water. A built-in rule engine checks your scheme instantly and flags issues like insufficient oxygenators, surface coverage gaps, plants placed at the wrong depth, and months where nothing is in bloom. Browse a hand-picked catalogue including waterlilies, hornwort, marsh marigold, and water soldier. Each entry shows spread, sun requirements, bloom months, vigour, and a care note. A smart filter narrows the list to plants that suit your pond and site. The Shade Survey uses your camera to measure real sun hours at three times of day, so no sun-hungry plant ends up planted in the shade. Track the year ahead on the Season Board, a monthly calendar showing bloom periods, foliage interest, and seasonal maintenance tasks for your exact scheme. The Report screen gives you coverage, oxygenation, and bloom continuity at a glance — with what-if sliders so you can model changes before committing to them. Your pond, planned properly.
