Designed to provide plenty of feedback on your plants environment, soil and condition, the Raspberry Pi plant monitoring system is also capable of automatic watering when required and updating you when anything may need your attention.

Watch the video below to learn more about the Raspberry Pi smart garden which has been created to both introduce students to electronics and of course the awesome Raspberry Pi mini PC. But also provide an easy way to monitor your vegetables and plants remotely using the companion smartphone application.
