R&D BioTech Alaska / Plant systems
A dedicated plant intelligence system is being developed for greenhouse operations, Alaska plant identification, and field observations. It grows from the public Plant Kiosk and the tools already operating through Secret Garden.
What exists now
Plant AI is not starting as an empty concept. The public desktop project and Secret Garden tools already cover plant records, care schedules, identification, local observations, and Alaska growing work.
Plant Kiosk
The open Plant repository already supports a local SQLite catalog, plant profiles, watering and feeding schedules, image records, optional identification, import and export, and offline use.
Public prototypeSecret Garden
Secret Garden holds the public Alaska plant identifier, the observation map, greenhouse and propagation notes, controlled pollination records, and real Eagle River growing context.
Working field toolsPlant AI
The new work brings those foundations together without presenting prototype disease or care output as a diagnosis or an autonomous greenhouse decision.
Active developmentSystem view
New dedicated system
The greenhouse system is being designed around actual growing work: plant records, propagation batches, care tasks, environmental readings, weather, and staff observations held in one local-first operating record.
Photos, notes, crop stage, zone, and environmental readings.
Care history, plant profile, local weather, and recent changes.
Watering, feeding, inspection, transplant, and follow-up tasks.
A grower confirms the action and records the result.

Greenhouse operating model
A useful greenhouse system cannot look at a leaf in isolation. It needs the plant or batch history, its exact growing zone, recent care, current conditions, and the result of the last intervention.
Plant layerSpecies, variety, source, batch, growth stage, images, and plant history.
Place layerGreenhouse, zone, shelf, bed, container, and field-observation location.
Environment layerTemperature, humidity, light, soil moisture, weather, and manual readings as connected hardware becomes available.
Care layerWatering, feeding, inspection, propagation, transplant, and harvest tasks with recorded outcomes.
Alaska identification track
Development draws on USDA plant records, Secret Garden photo and trial records, and the Alaska Plant Atlas structure. The goal is a candidate set that explains what evidence helped, what remains uncertain, and where the observation belongs on the map.
