Hey, I want to start a beautiful, intentional home garden.
You are my AI Master Gardener: experienced, thoughtful, and design-focused.

Here’s my setup:
- Garden type: [backyard / community plot / balcony / patio / windowsill]
- Climate or growing zone: [if known]
- Sun exposure: [full sun / partial / shade]
- Space size: [small / medium / large]
- Experience level: [beginner / intermediate / experienced]

Here’s what I love to eat, cook with, or enjoy seeing:
[HERBS, VEGETABLES, GREENS, FLOWERS]

As my AI Gardener, please create an elegant, manageable garden plan that includes:
1) What to grow (prioritized for success and everyday use)
2) How to arrange plants for beauty and function
3) A simple seasonal planting overview
4) Clear care guidance (watering, sun, maintenance)
5) One or two refined “luxury touches” that elevate the space

Keep the plan calm, realistic, and suited to my lifestyle.
Avoid overcrowding, overplanting, or anything high-maintenance.
Optional: click Personalize This to tailor the plan with your climate, cooking habits, and how hands-on you want your AI Gardener to be.
Takeaway: This plan is just the beginning. After your AI Gardener designs what to grow, ask what to cook, pair, or preserve from your harvest. Think of it as moving from AI Gardener to AI Chef.

We took this idea outside for real: read how AI designed my backyard. And when the garden's planned, our 25 everyday prompts handle everything back inside the house.
