20140337764 | Online Platform for Design, Creation, Maintenance, and Information Sharing of a Garden - 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. The platform will also provide periodic electronic reminders to remind a gardener of the needs for each plant selected to grow. | 11-13-2014 |
