Orchids School Student App vs. Fairchild Orchid Tracker Utilizzo e statistiche

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is propagating one million native orchids for restoration into South Florida’s urban landscapes. This project engages the public, particularly school children, to plant the orchid seedlings in trees to beautify urban spaces and restore orchid ecosystems, e.g. orchids, their pollinators, predators, and symbionts. To facilitate the documentation and tracking of the orchids after they are planted, this mobile app was created. This app facilitates documentation of orchids by allowing the general public to easily contribute by updating the status of orchids and providing a platform for Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden scientists to visualize various aspects of all planted orchids and track the status of their growth. This project is funded by the City of Coral Gables, Office of City Clerk.
