Abstract
An environment detection device for detecting a plurality of environmental conditions comprising a housing unit. The housing unit contains a plurality of sensors, a battery, and a memory storage device. The housing unit further includes a circuit board electrically connected to the plurality of sensors, the battery, and the memory storage device. The plurality of sensors includes a sunlight intensity sensor, a timer, a temperature sensor, and a moisture sensor. Additionally, a method is provided for determining vegetation capable of thriving in certain environmental conditions. The method includes sensing the environmental conditions, storing the environmental conditions on a memory storage device, and downloading the environmental conditions to a database, wherein the database displays a list of vegetation capable of surviving in the plurality of environmental conditions.

10. A method of determining vegetation capable of thriving in a plurality of environmental conditions, comprising the steps of:
-
sensing the plurality of environmental conditions including sunlight intensity with an environment detection apparatus; storing the plurality of sensed environmental conditions including sunlight intensity data on a memory storage device; and downloading the plurality of environmental conditions to a database, wherein a processor accesses data from the database and determines a list of vegetation capable of surviving in the plurality of stored environmental conditions, said processor then provides said list of vegetation to a display device for displaying said list of vegetation to a user. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
