Botanical gardens or public gardens are popular destinations for people seeking to enjoy the beauty and diversity of plant life and have an important role for biodiversity conservation. Biodiversity is defined as taxonomic, phylogenetic, or functional variability among living organisms and variability within and between ecosystems. A product of ecosystem functioning, the biodiversity is an element of human well-being and an environmental commodity, like clean air or water [1]. However, the visitors of botanical garden or public garden often view plants as static objects, rather than living organisms with their own needs and wellbeing. This perception can be changed by using monitoring technology to provide visitors with real-time data about the health and wellbeing of the plants in the garden.
