GROW : Designing a Smart Gardening System

Home gardening is a hobby that many people enjoy, and in recent years, its popularity has jumped, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During lockdowns, and stay-at-home orders, people started to spend their time taking care of plants to connect with nature, relieve stress, and even secure food supply. However, new gardeners often face challenges understanding each plant’s unique requirements and need guidance on how to properly care for their plants.

Due to the rise in beginner gardeners, our team decided to explore ways to help people form a meaningful, emotional connection with their plants and provide a simplified yet enriching gardening experience that makes plant care easy and enjoyable while ensuring that plants receive the best possible care.
