Inspiration

An old Nancy Drew game I played had a part where she used a database about plants. Their growth patterns, ripeness, etc. I always thought it would be cool to have one for everywhere

What it does

It allows a user to look around a map to find out what plants are around them. If they find an unlogged plant, they can log it into the app for others to see. Finally, if they wish to grow it themselves, they can enter their current location and find out how if they can.

How I built it

Using python's tkinter library, I created a navigable GUI

Challenges I ran into

Implementing google maps into the app. For the demo, I decided to just use a static image.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I finally managed to update the screen in tkinter where the entire frame can be changed if I needed to. That, and this is a program that actually works and came out exactly as I wanted it to.

What I learned

I learned how to use the tkinter library more, and some workarounds to python syntax

What's next for Find. Discover. Grow.

Actually implement Google Maps into the app. Another is to find a way for users to legally let the plant obtain it's own property like the tree that owns itself!
