I like that you’re making this fun and not just some step by step application, and also opening the user up more than just a planting plants but relationships that take place within a garden and between plants.

It’s nice that you’re making so many connections with planting and plants, as well as expanding into the science of it.

Think of how to use the affordances of the mobile device (camera, video, calendar, etc.) that could help users share information.

I like that your making a lot of connections between the parts of gardening and horticulture.

It seems like your app would be fun and educational for the user. I would have liked to see more visuals on how you would go about this app- if you would use photography or vectors. Also consider augmented reality for your app since it is something that recognizes the environment and teaches you about your home garden.

It was obvious you’ve done a lot of research for this app, so I appreciate that. I wish there was a little more of how exactly this app would work (storyboards).

This is nice that it’s not super gender specific.

No flash-cards is always a plus!

I think a “natural” feeling, soft-edged interface would really benefit the feel of this application.

The “what-if” and “what-are” questions and not just “how” do you plant this and “how” much water and sun does the plant need.

Could you also deal with time of the season needed to plant food plants so that you can have fresh fruits/veggies at a certain time during the year?

Maybe this app could help oldies delve into technology.

It seems like you have defined your audience based on assumption. I would flesh out more case studies (you shouldn’t arbitrarily define 20-30 because of technological familiarity). There is a chart on this website of mobile users and the results are pretty diverse. The goals of the application seem inherent, but are not defined in the presentation.

i think that your demographic is accurate… 20 – 50+ and agree with your thoughts that 20-30 are most likely to use this app. how can you make is more appealing or easier to use for older folks?

I think that one of the biggest challenges my fam has faced with gardening is soil quality. How do you plant in the right spot? How do you test soils?

i see the research.. the app is perfect here because you have to be outside.. and get dirty..
profiling in the beginning would be useful

there are lots of types of gardens..go talk to NC State professor

I think you could research your target audience a bit more. “I’m targeting 20-30s because they are more likely to use technology” might be a reasonable thing to say, but you may want to find out a bit more about what gardeners need/want. Seems unclear right now.

How can you help them identify what are good plants for the type of garden they want? (veggie, flower, herb)

Should they be informed on their ecosystem, to know what kind of plants would be good to grow.
