This project is part of the Adelaide 2014 GovHack Open Data competition
The national GovHack Red Carpet Awards were held on 10th August and ‘What Grows Here?’ received the GovHack People’s Choice Award.
Our surprise and delight in winning this award was topped off a week later at the South Australian Unleashed Awards where we received the top prize Unleashed Premiers Award and the Unleashed Building on Science, Research and Environmental Data Award.
The well-being of all life on our planet is under increasing pressure from climate change.
It has been known for decades that part of the solution lies in repairing our natural environment through tree planting and restoring forest to areas that have been cleared.
The What grows here? app will empower you to and be part of the solution and help you plant the right tree, at the right time in the right place.
Our companion learning hub will give passionate gardeners, educators, students and learners of all ages:
- access to additional information about plants
- teaching and learning resources
- the ability to share reflections, thoughts and your own content with others will be available in future updates of the learning hub
- State Flora Catalogue (data.sa.gov)
- Waite Arboretum Spatial Data (data.sa.gov)
- Atlas of Living Australia
Planned future developments for these products are mapped out in our Roadmap.
