Enhanced Prompt: Design a Minimalist Garden with Calm Atmosphere

Objective: Create a minimalist garden design that maximizes simplicity, functionality, and aesthetic appeal while fostering a serene and calming atmosphere. The garden should be functional, durable, and adaptable to future changes while adhering to industry standards.

Deliverables:

• A detailed garden design document outlining:
  • Space layout and composition
  • Selection of plants and materials
  • Irrigation and water management system
  • Lighting solutions
  • Pathways and structural elements
  • Facing and grading strategies
• A sustainability analysis including:
  • Water efficiency
  • Energy consumption of lighting and landscaping
  • discouraging metrics for eco-friendliness
• A maintenance plan with key responsibilities and schedules

Industry Best Practices and Standards:

• Adhere to local and national gardening guidelines for plant species and soil preparation
• Use sustainable landscaping practices, including native plants and mulching
• Implement low-maintenance plant selections
• Consider sustainable irrigation systems
• Follow accessibility standards for garden structures and pathways
• Use recycled materials where appropriate
• Incorporate sound plant leveling and Collegiate planting techniques

Quality Expectations:

• Durability of plants and materials
• Aesthetic appeal while maintaining minimalism
• Sustainability metrics (e.g., water efficiency, energy usage)
• Ease of maintenance
• Adaptability to climate conditions and future modifications

Technical Considerations:

• Soil composition and pH balance
• Precipitation patterns and seasonal fluctuations
• Soil structure for root growth
• Water retention and drainage systems
• Stormwater management strategies
