LeafLore
Concept for a Google Course
LeafLore is a responsive website and app that helps customers diagnose issues with their houseplants.
Problem
Many houseplant issues may go unrecognised by enthusiasts, particularly those that are less common or difficult to identify. Additionally, providing support for individuals with colour blindness to easily detect changes in plant colouration is essential for accurate plant care.
Goal
Find a solution that can help plant owners identify the issues they have with their houseplants through the use of machine learning.
