Meeting ID: 856 2852 3263 Passcode: 122122In the past, designing a native garden meant hours of research, expensive consultations, and hoping you got the plant spacing right. Today, AI-powered design tools can generate a complete, ecologically-sound native ecosystem in under 60 seconds—analyzing your space, understanding your goals, and placing 150+ plants with intelligent collision detection and mature spread calculations.
We'll explore the world of "Conversational Garden Design", where AI doesn't just generate layouts, it becomes your personal garden companion. Learn how Claude 3.5 Sonnet with RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) gives our AI "Muse" access to a curated database of 210 Pacific Northwest native plants, enabling real-time garden analysis and contextual advice. Discover how voice conversation technology lets homeowners literally talk to their garden designs, getting instant feedback on plant compatibility, spacing, and ecological relationships.
