ABSTRACT
This study introduces the Auto-Gardener, a smart gardening system designed to enhance urban gardening practices. The Auto-Gardener incorporates an impact sensor and real-time data analysis to automate critical aspects of plant care, providing users with a user-friendly and efficient gardening assistant. The study evaluates the system's usability through the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ), resulting in an impressive 80.6 SUS score and a 1.84 PSSUQ Overall Mean. These scores reflect users' high satisfaction and acceptance of the Auto-Gardener. The innovative features of the Auto-Gardener contribute to achieving study objectives, showcasing the potential of technology to revolutionize urban gardening. The positive outcomes underscore the importance of user-centric design in smart gardening technology. As we continue to embrace technological advancements, the Auto-Gardener exemplifies a transformative tool that can make urban gardening more accessible, efficient, and enjoyable for users.
