Our team is designing a hydroponic self-sustaining planter (farm block) that can monitor the nutrition, temperature, oxygen, water level, water flow, and pH. It may be expanded to a tech garden with multiple farm blocks connected to a central server which can be used for public city use. The expanded tech garden will need to be placed in a temperature-controlled unit, which will not be a part of our prototype, but it is important to note that these systems can be expanded for community garden use if the issue of lack of outdoor temperature control is addressed
