How to use this prompt

Naming all five herbs is essential — a generic "herb garden" prompt returns anonymous leafy blobs, while named species get their true leaf shapes: needled rosemary, furry sage, tiny thyme. "No labels, lettering or text anywhere" carries unusual weight here, because real botanical plates were always captioned and DALL·E badly wants to write garbled Latin under each plant. The hinted roots below the soil line are what make it read as a plate rather than a garden photo. If two herbs merge, re-ask with "clear white paper gap between each plant" moved to the front of the prompt.

Variations to try

  • Tea garden set — "swap the row to chamomile, lemon balm, lavender and peppermint" for a matching kitchen pair
  • Single specimen — "just the rosemary, one large centered plant with a flowering sprig detail in the corner"
