The BOTANICLY team combines a vision of digital networking and a near-natural everyday life. "In today's world, where the smartphone can connect people with anything and everything in the world, this technology helps to build a stronger connection to nature." The three founders, Helen Galliker, Jonas Wegener and Hannah Schiebener, envision a world in which nature becomes more integrated into people's lives and enriches the positive effects of plants on people in their everyday lives. BOTANICLY develops an app that makes it easier for people to grow plants at home. The app will give users personal plant recommendations. This will be done through a combination of the user's wishes and an analysis of location factors such as light. Once the plants have been selected and delivered to the user's home, users will be provided with practical tips from sowing to harvesting the plants.
