A full demonstration of this app in use can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29kMLJ76U1g

Welcome to Sprout, an app built that allows you to identify, catalogue, and purchase plants. Simply scan a plant to find out what it is and information about how to care for it, then either add it to your Garden or Wishlist to keep a track of your plants. You can set reminders to water, and nearby shops to purchase items in your wishlist, and earn medals for using Sprout!

Features

• Identify plants by taking pictures, uploading them from your camera roll, or searching by common name
• Recieve information on the plant, including scientific name, family, and how to care for it.
• Add plants to "My Garden" to keep track of the plants you own
• Set push notification reminders to water your plants
• Add plants to "My Wishlist"

• See all the plants you've scanned
• Earn a range of medals for scanning plants and adding them to your garden
