What We Did

Because we were interested in seeing such an app exist, we developed the Useful Nova Scotia Plants application with Marian Munro, botany curator of the Nova Scotia Museum. This time around Marian asked us if we’d like to do it again this time for harmful plants. We took the bones of our Useful Plants Ember application, and modified it to suit a slightly different content format based around where the plants are found – home, garden, or wild. For fun and learning, we also developed an Elm application for desktop browsers.
