Student Projects – Plant Zone

Made by Team Plant People

Turning anyone into a plant person.

We came up with the idea as none of us can keep our plants alive, and wanted a way to quickly find plants suitable for our environments. This idea then expanded into a full plant management app, where you can search for plants, keep track of the ones you own and see if plants need watering dependent on the local weather.

The Team

Patrick Evans

Patrick Evans

Paddy completed northcoders shortly after graduating from

the University of Manchester, after realising that the subject studied at degree level was not something they wanted to pursue a career in. Coding however clicked with them, and they are now looking for a role as a junior developer. In my spare time I run broadcasts for Esports competitions, which I would love to integrate custom built broadcasts graphics into using the programming skills I have gained during the course.
