The over-exploitation of resources, including soil, emerges as a significant concern demanding immediate attention for both the present and future. The problem statement identifies the lack of knowledge as a hindrance to adopting sustainable gardening practices. Furthermore, the impact of urbanisation on the environment highlights the urgent need to integrate sustainability measures to improve the environment. The research reveals challenges faced by plant enthusiasts, such as the complexity of sustainable gardening practices, and limited access to affordable materials. The proposed solution is an application featuring a vast plant database, sustainable product recommendations, and artificial intelligence features. This app serves to identify plants, provide personalised plant growth tips, recommend eco-friendly products, promote community engagement, and includes a plant diary for tracking gardening progress. This app seeks to bridge the gap in knowledge, making sustainable gardening practices accessible, engaging, and beneficial for both plant enthusiasts and the environment.
