Our purpose is to mentor and enable everyone from the novice to the established professional to achieve continual success throughout their Growing and gardening endeavours.
We have identified that information about gardening/ allotments and crop farming is being forgotten due to the modern ways of living.
Information is not being passed down from generation to generation as it has done in the past. The information does exist, however is not centralised and is time-consuming to find from multiple sources.
This can mean lots of mistakes are made which can be costly, e.g. loss of plants. The solution is our proposed mobile app that will provide centralised information with a personalised approach allowing the re-discovery of this information for the layman or professional gardener.
There are worldwide applications for this App for anyone looking to grow plants in a flat, balcony, garden, allotment, or smallholding. From looking at currently available apps, there is no 'one-stop shop' that is user-friendly and allows a personal design element.
