State Botanical Garden of Georgia
The State Botanical Gardens are 313 acres of displays, natural areas, and conservation, free to the public. As a unit of Public Service and Outreach at the University of Georgia, the State Botanical Garden of Georgia creates and nurtures an environment for learning, inspiration and engagement through horticulture, conservation, science based programs and lasting partnerships.
With this mission in mind, the Gardens wanted to provide a supplemental instructional opportunity that allows users to take advantage of their mobile devices they get distracted by in the Gardens. By creating an interactive, supplementary mobile application, the Gardens capture the attention of younger audiences and change the landscape of botanical instruction.
