Planning, with an assistant

From a feeling to a plant list.

Some briefs arrive as moods, not species. Describe the feeling and the assistant searches the plant database and comes back with real, plantable suggestions matched to your areas, zone, water, and sun.

AI plant assistant results showing plant cards recommended for a Picasso color-scheme brief, each assigned to an area

A real run, unedited:

“A walled courtyard garden in the color scheme of Picasso: the Blue Period: cobalt, ultramarine and silver-blue foliage, warmed by Rose Period accents of soft coral and dusty pink.”

The assistant came back with ten plants. Bristlecone Pine for its silver-blue foliage, a Blue Moon tea rose and azaleas for the Rose Period warmth, Hidcote lavender for the Blue Border, each already assigned to the right area of the project.

Suggestions come from the same several-thousand-plant database you browse, never invented names.

The database

Several thousand plants, with the details that matter.

Open. Editable. Yours. The full database includes growth habits, water needs, USDA zones, soil preferences, deer resistance, native ranges, and the regional cultivation notes that take a working designer years to compile.

You can preview a slice of it without signing up.

Browse the plant database

Built for designers, not landscapers.

There's plenty of software for the lawn-and-mow crowd. db.garden is for the people designing the gardens: the studios, the practices, the firms whose work shows up in real photographs in real magazines.

For independent designers

You're a one or two person studio. You wear every hat. Software that gives you back four hours a week is software that pays for itself in a client meeting.

For boutique studios

Three to eight people, principal plus team. Shared projects, shared selections, shared presentations. Everyone working from the same plant data, in the same place.

For firms

Twelve people and up. Audit logs, dedicated onboarding, custom plant database additions for your region. We'll talk.

Pricing

Priced for the practice you're running.

Solo, studio, firm. A 14-day trial that needs a card, then it renews automatically until you cancel. Built so a single closed project pays for the year.
