Gardening App & GitHub Repositories

I have decided to branch out and recreate my Gardening App using ReactJS. I have a basic understanding of JavaScript and have built websites using HTML and CSS. I was pleasantly surprised with how much easier ReachJS made my experience, particularly with the markup languages. My first step is to…

My app has two tables, Gardens and Plants. When I started, I did not think to include gardens, rather the app was just for documenting plants. However, I quickly realized the user should be able to both search and view plants as well as having more information about the gardens…
