  • Publication number: 20220335097
    Abstract: An online platform for the design, creation, maintenance, and information sharing of a garden by one or more users. A user interface receives from the one or more users of the platform ecological, botanical, environmental and/or geographical information for the design, creation, maintenance and information sharing of a garden. A database of garden knowledge is generated using the information from the one or more users received by the user interface. The database of garden knowledge is a centralized database of gardening information, including garden data and garden tasks, that is accessible and shared by and between the one or more users and that is dynamically modifiable and maintained by the one or more users via the user interface. The online platform is an online environment where the one or more users communicate and collaborate together via the user interface to maintain and share the gardening information in the centralized database.

  • Patent number: 9792587
    Abstract: An online platform for design, creation, maintenance, and information sharing of a garden is disclosed. A user interface is generated for receiving information from a user relating to a garden. In response to receiving information from the user, a selection of plant varieties is generated based on garden geotagging and environmental information. At least one, dynamically maintained plant database of user created garden knowledge is provided. Identification searches are performed by using geometry-based botanical properties in a visual search.

  • Publication number: 20140337764
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an online platform for the design, creation, maintenance, and information sharing of a garden by a user. The online platform is an online environment where users (gardeners) go to plan, create, grow and/or share gardens with other users. A set of garden specific feature tools track and organize the garden with a physical correlation to the garden layout. A feature of the platform is an encyclopedia of plant knowledge that provides users with information on when (and how) to maintain plants in one's garden. In one scenario, the information is geographically and environmentally relevant. In a further scenario, a calendar of gardening tasks is automatically generated from the list of plants selected to grow. Based on the selection of plants identified by a member, the platform will provide a set of instructions or guidelines as best gardening practices to follow.
