As the world faces mounting environmental challenges and shifting climate patterns, the future of horticulture depends on innovation, adaptability, and sustainability. Generative AI is emerging as a transformative force in this space, offering unprecedented opportunities to deliver hyper-localized, climate-aware gardening advice and support. At Publicis Sapient, we are proud to be at the forefront of this movement, leveraging our expertise in digital business transformation and artificial intelligence to help communities, organizations, and individuals thrive in their unique environments.
Generative AI, powered by advanced large language models and deep learning, is revolutionizing how knowledge is accessed and applied in horticulture. Tools like the RHS Chatbotanist—developed in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society—demonstrate how AI can democratize two centuries of expert gardening advice, making it instantly accessible to users via intuitive digital platforms. By training AI on validated, regionally relevant horticultural data, we enable gardeners to receive tailored guidance that reflects the specific conditions of their local climate, soil, and biodiversity.
No two gardens are alike. From the windswept coasts of the UK to the arid plains of North America or the humid tropics of Southeast Asia, each region presents its own set of horticultural challenges and opportunities. Generative AI can be adapted to account for:
This hyper-localization ensures that advice is not only accurate but also actionable, empowering gardeners to make informed decisions that maximize yield, resilience, and ecological benefit.
Sustainability is at the heart of modern horticulture. Generative AI enables:
These capabilities align with the growing demand for environmentally responsible gardening and the need to build climate-resilient communities.
Climate change is altering growing seasons, introducing new pests and diseases, and challenging traditional horticultural practices. Generative AI is uniquely positioned to help communities adapt by:
Our work with the Royal Horticultural Society and the development of the RHS Chatbotanist exemplify our commitment to harnessing generative AI for environmental and community benefit. By integrating our SPEED capabilities—Strategy, Product, Experience, Engineering, and Data & AI—we deliver solutions that are not only technologically advanced but also deeply attuned to the needs of diverse regions and stakeholders.
We believe that the future of horticulture is digital, data-driven, and inclusive. Whether supporting a community garden in an urban center or helping rural farmers adapt to new climate realities, generative AI offers a pathway to more sustainable, resilient, and productive landscapes.
As generative AI continues to evolve, its potential to transform horticulture on a regional and global scale is only beginning to be realized. Publicis Sapient invites organizations, communities, and individuals to partner with us in shaping a greener, more sustainable future—one garden, one region, and one climate zone at a time.
