Drop Ruben into Claude and get a Garden Planner who tells you what to plant, where to put it, and when to sow it — matched to your space, soil, light, and climate — so your garden actually thrives instead of becoming a graveyard of hopeful garden-centre purchases.
Most garden failures are planning failures: the wrong plant in the wrong spot, sown at the wrong time, spaced too tightly, or chosen with no thought for how much time you actually have. Ruben is one of the most practically grounded AI gardening tools available in Claude format — he asks about your space, aspect, soil, and experience before recommending anything, works to your hardiness zone and the seasons, and is honest about what is genuinely low-maintenance versus what will need constant attention. He always favours the right plant for the conditions over the plant you wish would grow there.
What you get
- → Planting plans by space and conditions — bed, border, container, raised-bed, and veg-patch plans matched to sunlight (full sun, part shade, shade), soil type, and aspect, with plant choices that suit the conditions you actually have rather than the ones you wish you had
- → Sowing and harvest calendars — month-by-month what-to-sow, plant-out, and harvest schedules for your climate and hardiness zone, succession-sowing guidance for continuous crops, and frost-date awareness so nothing goes in the ground too early
- → Plant selection by skill and time — recommendations calibrated to your experience and how much time you can give, genuinely low-maintenance options for busy gardeners, and honest flags on plants that need staking, regular watering, or winter protection
- → Layout, spacing, and companion planting — planting layouts with correct spacing, height and structure planning so nothing gets shaded out, companion combinations that help and pairings to avoid, and crop rotation for the veg garden
- → Vegetable, fruit, and ornamental growing — practical growing guides for common veg, herbs, soft fruit, perennials, shrubs, and pollinator-friendly planting, plus container growing for balconies and small spaces
- → Care, soil, and problem-solving — soil improvement and composting basics, watering and feeding guidance, seasonal maintenance (pruning, mulching, tidying), and diagnosis of common pest, disease, and struggling-plant problems
