AI & the Garden Designer: Tool, Threat or Transformation?
14 Oct 2026
Inspire Theatre
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way we imagine, communicate and develop garden and landscape design. From generating instant visualisations and exploring planting ideas to supporting research, specification and client communication, AI offers designers powerful new tools, but also raises important questions about creativity, originality, authorship and the value of professional expertise. This talk explores both sides of the AI revolution. Andrew will look at where AI can genuinely enhance the design process, where it risks becoming a distraction or a substitute for thinking, and what happens when the technology starts influencing not just how we present ideas, but the ideas themselves.
