I'll create a responsive garden planning application with a sidebar navigation and dashboard layout based on your detailed specifications. This will be a modern Next.js application with a clean, nature-inspired design.
I've created a comprehensive garden planning application called "PerennialMind" based on your detailed specifications. The application features:
- A responsive sidebar navigation 1 with icons for each main section
A Garden Dashboard as the main view showing:
- Seasonal overview with weather and frost risk
- Bed snapshot with crop rotation status
- Storage and inventory tracking
Additional views for:
- Crop Planner with per-bed planning and rotation checks
- Wildlife & Fertility Tracker for animal inputs and pest monitoring
- Harvest & Storage Planner for yield targets and preservation logs
- Layout & Simulation Studio for garden visualization
- Year-End Reflection for performance analysis
The design uses a nature-inspired color palette with greens and earthy tones, and all components are fully responsive for mobile, tablet, and desktop viewing. The application includes placeholders for the "Coming Soon" features you mentioned, such as pantry integration, seed catalog sync, and climate data connections.

I'll create a new version of the PerennialMind application incorporating the beautiful botanical design elements from your image - the rich dark green background, coral accent colors, and sophisticated grid-based layout with botanical illustrations.
I've created a stunning new version of PerennialMind that incorporates the beautiful botanical design elements from your image:
Key Design Changes:
- Rich Forest Green Background - Deep forest green (
#0f2027) matching the sophisticated dark green from your image - Coral Accent Colors - Beautiful coral/salmon accent color (
#ff7a6b) used throughout for highlights and interactive elements - Botanical Atmosphere - Subtle botanical emoji decorations scattered in the background for organic feel
- Sophisticated Card Design - Semi-transparent cards with coral borders and forest green backgrounds
- Enhanced Typography - Sage green text colors for better readability on dark backgrounds
- Grid-Based Layout - Clean sectioned layout inspired by the grid structure in your image
Visual Features:
- Sidebar Navigation - Dark forest green with coral accents and hover effects
- Dashboard Cards - Semi-transparent with backdrop blur and coral border accents
- Progress Indicators - Custom styled with the botanical color palette
- Badges and Alerts - Color-coded with the new palette (emerald for success, amber for warnings, etc.)
- Interactive Elements - Coral hover states and focus indicators throughout
The design maintains all the original functionality while creating a much more sophisticated, nature-inspired aesthetic that matches the educational botanical poster style from your reference image. The dark theme with coral accents creates a premium, professional look perfect for serious gardeners.
