Development of Website and Android

Application for Garden Guide

As we are going to make a project on garden-guide and there are two platforms of this project.
One is website and another one is mobile application. In this project, we will create some
technical things which make the life of people easy who are interested in gardening stuff. At the
very first let’s talk about the website which will be opened in the web browser. The website will
include Features to work like once the user register to the website he/se can explore things like
Gardening facebook where user can make profiles and share pictures and videos. User can buy
packages from the website. There will be two different panels in the website where normal user
and admin both can login with their credentials. After login, normal user can explore the website
as a customer and admin can login as admin to the admin panel where he can manage things in
the website. Secondly, we will be working on the android mobile application. There will be a
Notification calendar in the application which will send mobile notifications to the user for
different scheduled tasks. We’ll also try to do the SNS service where user can direct login from
facebook and Gmail. For future instance we’re looking forward to add the camera based feature

where user can open the camera from the application and can measure the length of the lawn.
Flow Diagram for the Website: Following is the flow diagram for the website which includes
the working of website. For the website there are two types of users; normal user and admin so,
for that there will two panels in the website one is for normal user where they can view items
and take services from the website and other one is admin panel where admin can login and
manage the stuff and can make changes in the website. Admin can manage items and orders
from the website from admin panel, he can also send emails from the website to the registered

users in order to send them important mails. Login and Register with Facebook and
Google: Following is the kind of user interface for the login section. This is the login panel for
another website (Pinterest) and it shows that you can login from your facebook account or from
your Google account as well. In the shown figure there are three ways shown that how a user
can get in to the real website content, User can register on the website to login, other option is
to login either from facebook or Google account so that it will fetch the important information
like name, DOB, and in future user can get notifications form the website.

Research:We did research on existing databases, websites, guides, books and research
papers. These include local New Zealand based websites namely, Tui Gardens, go
gardening, wellington botanic garden, Yates general gardening and other resources.
Our website and application is based on both emotional and technical aspects. Our
website and app will promote awareness among people relating to planting more trees.
After searching on Tui garden website, we came to know about the plants that can or
cannot be grown during the various seasons in New Zealand. It also specifies when the
plants and vegetables should be harvested. We have also found a book on Google
scholar namely informatics solution for smart garden based on sensors. In this book, we
have learned that most of the products which are already using hydroponic growing.
Nowadays, people do not have enough time to grow their own vegetables. That is why
technology changes the way of planting vegetables. This application is developed by
using android studio and java programming language. MySQL is used in that application
for collecting the data from smart garden and it is also used to manage user accounts,
store personal data and plant listings and configuration how the application works. This
application has some features like adding a plant, user notification and remote control.

Motivation: Gardening is always is my hobby and I m very excited that we have got the
opportunity to make a project on gardening. Luckily, when I came to New Zealand, I
went to botanic garden wellington and I saw different kinds of roses. Botanic garden has
over 3000 roses in 110 beds. It is very beautiful garden and flowers raise the beauty of
garden. So after visiting there I decided to make website and application on garden-
guide. We also get information from go gardening website, we know that how to grow
different vegetables and followers, like if we want to grow the roses which should be
planted with the best possible care.

Summary and features of both platforms:The project is about gardening. As I

mentioned in summary also we are going to create a website and Android application
on garden-guide. There will be one home page in the website and application which is
first page so when user opens that page they can get more information about website
and application. Secondly, we will put some gardening techniques which can be helpful
for people to make their garden more beautiful. Next, there will be one login and
register page. In login page, user can add their username and password. We will include
admin panel page that is helpful for admin he or she can manage the main aspects of
the website. Admin panel needs to only login as admin in the website and it will open
the admin panel for the admin. Technology is more important for creating any website
and application. In this project, we will use resources like web development languages
for coding, designing and storing database. For coding and the development of the
project, we will use HTML5; HTML5 is web development language which is used for
coding the website.

We will use MySQL for database. MySQL is developed by Swedish company in 1994 call
as MySQL AB. We can also call as relational database management system (RDBMS)
which is mainly used for creating and managing databases based on a relational model.
It consists of structured data. For example, we are taking photo in our mobile phone by
pushing a button. Our picture which is captured is called data and photo gallery where
the picture is saved called database.
