Precedents:

I looked at current tech for plants such as adafruit water sensor. People have at home connected these to a system of sensor to remotely understand and supply needed items to plants. I looked at art such as Plant Hotel by Project Machina and John Baldesari’s Teach a Plant the Alphabet. I expanded into scientific articles on plant growth which explored the Fungi network. I have also been reading books on environmental ethics and Michel Pollen’s Botany of Desire.
