Guides, deep-dives, and how-tos for designers, farmers, landscape architects, and gardeners using AI tools to design with nature.
Practical posts on permaculture design software, passive solar buildings, plant guilds, soil amendments, and regenerative landscape architecture — written for practitioners, grounded in the tools we actually build.
Most of a project's cost is decided before the first plant goes in. How EcoDesign's Research Hub surfaces a site's current status, real potential, and hidden risks — before the capital is committed, and mostly for free.
