"We're used to using technology to design every part of our homes except our gardens. Spacelift changes that. It gives people a starting point, a plan, and the confidence to actually create something not just imagine it."
"Successful garden design is an art form. It is rooted in creativity, collaboration, experience and human connection. While technology may offer useful tools, it cannot replicate the insight, empathy and personal engagement that comes from working with a skilled garden designer to create a living, evolving natural space within the home."
"That it's being shown at Chelsea which is the world-leading show for garden design feels like a betrayal."
"Some gardens already make use of AI to tell people when they should water plants, or to map which species of flower might be appropriate as the climate changes."
An AI-designed garden is set to appear at the Chelsea Flower Show at the Royal Hospital gardens in London. Matt Keightley, a garden designer, is using artificial intelligence to create his exhibit and is launching an app called Spacelift that can generate garden spaces from scratch. Keightley says people already use technology to design homes but not gardens, and that the app provides a starting point, plan, and confidence to build real spaces. Horticulturalists and professional designers express alarm that garden design work could be automated. They argue that successful garden design depends on creativity, collaboration, experience, and human connection, and that technology cannot replicate insight and empathy. Some designers also criticize giving AI a platform at a leading show.
