|
|
|
|
|
|
|
+Home gardeners can preview a planting style before buying a single plant with [Raphael AI](https://raphael.app).

|
|
|
|
|
+## Describe your conditions first
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+Start every prompt with the light and climate so the result is realistic:
|
|
|
|
|
+`small north-facing backyard, partial shade, temperate climate,` then the style.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+## Styles to compare
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+1. Cottage garden: `dense mixed borders, foxgloves, roses, gravel path`
|
|
|
|
|
+2. Japanese-inspired: `moss, maple, stepping stones, raked gravel`
|
|
|
|
|
+3. Wildlife garden: `native wildflowers, log pile, small pond`
|
|
|
|
|
+4. Edible garden: `raised beds, herbs, climbing beans on trellis`
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+## Turn the image into a plan
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
+- List every plant you can identify in the picture.
|
|
|
|
|
+- Check each one against your hardiness zone and soil.
|
|
|
|
