Dedicated gardeners may quietly converse with their beloved blooms when no one is around. However, at the upcoming Chelsea Flower Show, attendees will be invited to engage in dialogue with the very first AI-powered garden.
Horticulturalist Tom Massey collaborated with Microsoft to develop Avanade’s “intelligent” garden. Soil sensors paired with AI technology, trained on plant information and gardening tips from the Royal Horticultural Society, enable visitors to inquire about the garden’s progress.
Massey remarked, “Perhaps that’s the solution. It appears he requires more water. Perhaps a trim.”
Aside from enhancing gardening enjoyment and convenience, Massey suggested a broader range of potential uses. Wireless sensors concealed in the soil monitor moisture, nutrient levels, acidity, and alkalinity, all linked to a computer system in a garden pavilion for public viewing.
