Well-manicured gardens adorned with healthy plants and blooms add charm to your home. However, maintaining a garden is not everyone’s cup of tea.
In traditional gardening, the emphasis is on working the soil, selecting suitable manure, choosing plants carefully, consistently pruning and cutting for optimal growth, and mowing the grass bed. While some people have green fingers, others often find themselves grappling with challenges such as limited time, space, and expertise.
Enter the SMART Gardener, an innovative solution devised by our prodigy Pranav Varun, that promises to transform the way we nurture our green companions.
