If you weren't blessed with a green thumb, it might be time for a trip to Plant Parenthood. Plant Parenthood is a Node application that makes it easy to keep track of your plant's care needs.
Most resources for plant care are filled with lengthy articles aimed at the experienced gardener. To make plant care information more accessible for the average user, I used web scraping to source images and care data, then I translated the data into a simple icon system.
With this data, I built a SQL database of 200+ houseplants and implemented CRUD routes that allow users to add and remove plants, comments, and journal entries. Utilizing Semantic UI and jQuery, I added search with autosuggest functionality, which makes it easy for users to find plants.
