The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).
Plan a small garden. Size, sun and soil: [SPACE_SUN_SOIL]. Climate zone or region: [REGION]. Uses (play, food, relaxing): [USES]. Budget and time for maintenance: [BUDGET_TIME]. Draw a plan in text with zones, paths and beds. Suggest plant types (not specific varieties unless I ask) for each zone by sun and use, with notes on seasons. Provide a month-by-month task calendar for my region, to verify against local gardening advice [VERIFY]. Include a materials list with quantities, a watering plan, and a phasing plan that spreads cost over two seasons. Add notes on drainage, safety for children and pets, and avoiding invasive species in my region [VERIFY]. Add a one-page plan for a first-year budget with the order of purchase, and a list of five low-effort plants types by function (screening, scent, pollinators, edible, ground cover) without naming specific species. Include a maintenance calendar that takes under two hours per week in the busiest season and tells me what to skip if short of time.
