I want to grow my own: tomatoes, beans, courgettes. I wonder if the soil is rich enough.

PerenOS, the operating system
for climate-adaptive landscapes
Generate plant communities adapted to your land's conditions and the climates it is moving into
The land you tend and the person you are on it form one system. PerenOS reasons from what that system requires: the functions the site needs to perform, the conditions it faces now, and those it is moving toward. PerenOS proposes a plant community for each, and names what it does not yet know.

The brief PerenOS reasons against. Each function names what the project must perform; together they constrain the community search space.
The brief, in your words. PerenOS listens to what you said and reads each as a function the land needs to perform.

Last summer's heat killed the south border. I'm not sure what would survive next time.

The bees come to the lavender. I'd like more places for them, ideally pretty ones.

We want fruit. Old varieties if possible: apple, pear, fig. The almond if it can take the climate.

The hedge feels empty in winter. I'd like it to shelter the birds, and screen the road in summer.

I don't want to spend my weekends watering. What can survive without me?
PerenOS translates into function Low-input establishment · whole garden
Each named function is a hard constraint. PerenOS proposes communities that satisfy all of them or refuses, with the conflict named.

PerenOS sets an observation rhythm: what to look at, when, and what each observation tells it. After handover, PerenOS stays with the land through every season.
