QR Codes for Plant Labels and Garden Identification

1. What to Link

* Species and common name pages. * Watering and care instructions. * Harvest calendar for vegetable gardens. * Botanical garden exhibit information in multiple languages.

2. Durable Labels

Outdoor plant labels face UV, moisture, and soil contact. Use UV-stabilised acrylic, slate, or ceramic tiles with engraved or UV-printed codes. Avoid paper labels outdoors.

3. Size and Module Count

Keep the payload to a short URL. Even a 3 × 3 cm code is readable in good outdoor light. Test scanning in direct sunlight and partial shade.

4. Community Garden Setup

A central QR index sign can link to a plot map where visitors tap individual plot squares for that plot's growing guide. This avoids one physical code per plant.
