What they did
1) Photograph and measure the planting bed. Give ChatGPT its dimensions, sun exposure, location or growing zone, deer pressure, maintenance preferences and budget. 2) Request suitable plants, a mapped grid showing placement and spacing, and suppliers within your chosen travel radius. 3) Print the layout and instructions. Check the suggested nursery's prices and take the plan to a nursery specialist to confirm plant suitability and materials before buying. 4) Prepare the bed and collect the plants. During layout, use follow-up questions to clarify placement and spacing before digging. 5) Plant and mulch according to the checked plan.

Worth knowing
