Land stewards, permaculture designers, and small-site planners
Worth noticing
It combines USGS, USDA, NOAA, and NASA data with GeoJSON/KML boundary import.

Field notes

A project can begin from the visible map or from an imported GeoJSON/KML boundary, then run separate terrain, soil, climate, and sun analyses. The design workspace records elements such as swales, ponds, tanks, paths, and trees, with fields for zones, functions, seasonal conditions, and notes. Its plant library narrows candidates by hardiness zone, soil, shade, moisture, layer, and ecological role.
