像乐高积木，为植物生长而设计的legrow智能花园
LeGrow Smart Garden Is Like LEGO Blocks for Growing Plants

今年早些时候，Pantone发布PANTONE 15-0343草木色作为2017年的主打色，预计家庭植物趋势，在许多书籍、Instagram和网站中已经达到顶峰，致力于将植物融入到我们的日常生活中。但是，正如明智的Muppet曾经宣称，“不会轻易就能实现绿色”——并不是每个人都有空间或勤劳的双手来保证植物的健康生长。 LeGrow智能花园装置试图将种植和照顾植物变成一项简单的事情，将模块化的部分组合在一起，成为自给自足的室内园艺生态系统，因此每个人都可以生活得更绿色。

Earlier this year Pantone bestowed PANTONE 15-0343 Greenery as the color of 2017, prescient of the house plant trend that has culminated in numerous books, Instagrams, and websites dedicated to integrating plants into our everyday lives. But as one wise Muppet once professed, “it ain’t easy being green” – not everyone has the space or green thumb for keeping plants healthy. The LeGrow smart garden kits attempt to turn growing and caring for plants into a simple matter of snapping modular pieces together into self-sustaining indoor gardening ecosystems so everyone can live a little greener.
   


与乐高块类似，LeGrow系统的每个元素都有助于促进植物的健康生长：

• 花盆是智能花园的建筑体块，每个都配有内部储水源，旨在控制每株植物的可用水量。
• LED灯采用双灯泡设计，旨在促进经济增长，即使在无窗空间，低光环境和冬季也是如此。额定最大50,000 Lux并产生3000 K色温，该元素能起到发挥“太阳”的光合作用。
• 360°加湿器设计用于在自然环境中复制雾气，为植物提供额外的水分，以防止干燥。
• 电源盆的形状与标准电池相同，但包括一个独特的底座，带有4个防水USB充电端口，包括智能手机的Quick Charge 3.0端口。人们可以假设这反映出在家庭或办公室内靠近工作区附近保留LeGrow系统的设想。
  

Similar to LEGO blocks, each element of the LeGrow system serves a purpose in promotion of growing and maintaining healthy plants:

• Pots are the building blocks of the Smart Garden, each outfitted with an internal water reservoir designed to control the amount of water available to each plant.
• LED Lamp blocks feature dual-bulb designed to help promote growth, even in windowless rooms, low-light environments, and the winter season. Rated for a maximum of 50,000 Lux and producing a 3000 K color temperature, this element plays the role of the “sun” for the purpose of photosynthesis.
• 360°Humidifier is designed to replicate mist in a natural environment and provides additional moisture for plants to prevent drying out.
• Power Pot is shaped like the standard pot, but includes a unique base with 4 waterproof USB charging ports, including a Quick Charge 3.0 port for smart phones. One could assume this reflect envisioning keeping a LeGrow system near/around workspaces within a home or office.
  

     








由中国工业设计师Haobin Lin设计，LeGrow最初设想将园艺介绍给自己的女儿，并为她的生活中添加自然元素。看起来很理想，他把这个想法变成了一个模块化的，立方体的种植系统，与LEGO或Minecraft具有可识别的相似之处，实质上把家庭园艺变成了一场游戏，“成功”的机会大大提高。

Designed by Chinese industrial designer Haobin Lin, the LeGrow was initially conceived to introduce his own daughter to gardening and add an element of nature into her life. It seems ideal he took this idea and converted it into a modular, cubic shaped planter system with identifiable similarities to LEGO or Minecraft, essentially turning home gardening into a game where the chances of “winning” are greatly improved.
   


“当我的女儿出生时，我决定如果我们离开这个城市是不可能的，我必须把大自然的美丽带给我的女儿。所以开始了3年的旅程，创造出我可以设计出的最好的室内花园。
   
有一天，我注意到女儿在玩她最喜欢的玩具——“积木”。那一刻，我意识到室内花园可能不仅仅是一堆花盆。通过允许堆叠和扩大你的花盆，每个人都可以创建一个独特的花园，就像我女儿独特的建筑创作一样。
   
乐高式的设计具有安装在像我们公寓这样的小空间的附加优势。然而，它也提供了灵活性，使我的女儿随着她的成长可以移动和扩展她的花园。 一旦我开始设计花盆，我意识到这个花园得可能性也会越来越多。”——Haobin Lin

“When my daughter was born I decided that if it was impossible for us to leave the city, I must bring the beauty of nature to my daughter. So began a 3-year journey to create the best indoor garden I could design.
One day I noticed my daughter playing with her favorite toys – “building blocks.” In that moment I realized that indoor gardens could be so much more than just a bunch of pots. By allowing you to stack and expand your pots everyone can create a unique garden just like my daughters unique building creations.
The Lego-like design has the added benefit of fitting into smaller spaces like our apartment. However, it also provides flexibility, so that my daughter can move and expand her garden as she grows. Once I began to design the pot I realized that this garden could be so much more.” – Haobin Lin
   






LeGrow智能花园目前正在寻求众筹支持，早期鸟类支持者的入门价格为34美元，规模大小取决于植物生长基础设施的数量和复杂程度。

The LeGrow Smart Garden is currently seeking crowdfunding support, with an entry price of $34 for early bird backers, scaling upwards depending upon the number and complexity of plant growing infrastructure.
