Today, there are many smart garden tech tools you can use to make exercising your green thumb even easier. Some are also excellent for people with disabilities who enjoy gardening and even families. From indoor smart gardens to future devices, here are some examples.
Automated Assistants
Automated tools are usually an excellent addition to any kind of task. But in the garden, they can be a Godsend. While many people enjoy gardening, if you are honest, it can feel like a chore! Fortunately, there are many automated assistants you can use in the garden. Trending examples include the robot lawn mower, automatic outdoor vacuum cleaner for leaves and debris, and even automatic weeder machines by the creators of the excellent Roomba.
Indoor Smart Garden Tech
Not everyone has the space or even the will to create a vegetable or herb patch. However, up to 90% of people want to cook more fresh food. Indoor smart gardens are an excellent compromise that makes growing herbs and small vegetables much easier than the outdoors:
- Indoor gardens allow you to grow a wide variety of herbs, plants, and vegetables.
- They also provide the perfect amount of light and water and operate automatically.
- Being indoors, there is no need to spray pesticides on your naturally-grown food.
Intelligent Watering Systems
There are many things that must be done well to get the best from a garden. One of the most critical is watering. Watering the garden is also a bit of a chore, inaccessible for some with disabilities, and can cost a fair bit. However, there are a few intelligent watering systems you can install. These include drip-feed irrigation systems, sprinklers, and rainwater capture and reuse systems. Most of these can also be controlled via a smartphone with data analysis tools.
Smart Garden Tech for Ambience
Most people create an outdoor oasis to enjoy with their families. However, modern backyards rely on more than substantial greenery. Family nights in your own garden space are what magical memories are made of. So, here are some gadgets for great outdoor ambiance.
Remote-controlled LED lighting
LED lighting is pretty cheap, easy to install, and provides excellent ambiance. Products such as the Philips Hue 2m Outdoor Lightstrip can also be programmed and controlled remotely.
Outdoor televisions
You may think twice about taking your TV outdoors. But there are some on the market that are designed to withstand a rugged experience, such as the aptly named Samsung Terrace TV.
Portable Bluetooth speakers
If only to lounge in the sun and relax with some tunes, Bluetooth speakers are a remarkable tool. Products like the Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II have stunning quality and a longer range.
Just one of these amazing gadgets can enhance your family garden experience. Combined, you have something that your partner, kids, and relatives will treasure for many years to come.
Intelligent Weather Systems
We love to keep an eye on the weather most of the time, and it is a massive advantage when you enjoy gardening. Smart weather systems can alert you to adverse weather, analyze weather effects on plants in real-time, and provide insights by collecting data. Some can even provide data about the humidity and CO2 levels that can harm some plants in your garden. This is essential for ensuring your plants thrive in the best environment they possibly can.
Future Smart Garden Tech
Modern garden tech is impressive as it is. But of course, there are many advancements being made. In the UK alone, 57% of homes have smart tech in use, and there are many new products coming to the market soon. Here are some of the best examples to watch out for:
- AI systems are in development and can monitor nutrients, water, and light levels.
- Vertical gardening technology maximizes available space in smaller properties.
- Drones with sensors can monitor larger gardens from above and feed back data.
Wi-Fi Connected Security Systems
Having someone enter your property can be frightening, and some criminals intentionally cause damage to the garden. Today, there are many Wi-Fi-connected security systems you can put up in minutes and access remotely from anywhere. However, some also come with advanced features such as night vision. These are great for reviewing intruders. However, you can also use night vision to watch and record wildlife in your garden, such as foxes, badgers, and rabbits.
Summary
Automated assistants such as robot weeders and lawnmowers are great examples of garden smart tech that are a major help. There are also gadgets such as LEDs that can help you enjoy your garden space as a family, and you can use Wi-Fi security night vision to watch wildlife.
