Well-manicured gardens adorned with healthy plants and blooms add charm to your home. However, maintaining a garden is not everyone’s cup of tea.
In traditional gardening, the emphasis is on working the soil, selecting suitable manure, choosing plants carefully, consistently pruning and cutting for optimal growth, and mowing the grass bed. While some people have green fingers, others often find themselves grappling with challenges such as limited time, space, and expertise.
Enter the SMART Gardener, an innovative solution devised by our prodigy Pranav Varun, that promises to transform the way we nurture our green companions.
Problem In Gardening
Gardening is getting popular, but lots of folks have trouble because they don’t have much time, space, or know-how. Taking care of plants the old-fashioned way needs a ton of attention, which is tough if you’re busy. Plus, things like weather changes can mess things up. That’s why we need a way to use technology to make gardening easier for everyone, no matter how much they know about it.
About SMART Gardener
Pranav observed these problems and devised a solution using the Design Thinking process. He leveraged technology to simplify and enhance the gardening experience, empowering users to grow healthy plants with minimal effort and expertise. Smart Gardene integrates technology into traditional gardening practices to automate and optimize various aspects of plant care.
He describes SMART gardener as a helper for plants. It takes care of everything they need to grow well. It makes sure the temperature is right and waters them when they’re thirsty. The device comes with a mobile app that includes a pollinator mode to attract pollinators; a growth mode to track your plant’s height; a simple interface to control the device and receive notifications in real-time.
SMART Gardener Features
Preset settings: The user can enter custom values for soil moisture amount, temperature, and lighting for the plant using the app or use preset settings.
9v batteries: The device is powered by 9v batteries.
Mobile App: It includes a mobile app with a user-friendly interface to control and monitor the working of the device and receive alerts.
Temperature and light sensors: The machine uses temperature and light sensors to check the conditions around and then, using other components it helps to create a good environment for the plant.
Watering: It waters the plant when the soil moisture is low.
