GardenSync (Community Garden Management System - CGMS) is a web-based software solution designed to simplify the management of community gardens. The system enables administrators, garden managers, and volunteers to efficiently organize gardens, manage plots, register volunteers, track harvests, and monitor gardening activities from a centralized platform.
This project was developed as part of the Software Management and Development course at the University of Palestine, following a complete Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process.
Community gardens are often managed using spreadsheets and paper forms, making it difficult to organize volunteers, monitor crops, and maintain accurate records.
GardenSync digitizes these processes by providing a centralized management platform that allows organizations to:
- Manage multiple community gardens
- Organize garden plots
- Register and manage volunteers
- Track volunteer working hours
- Record harvests
- Generate dashboard summaries
- Maintain secure user management
- Replace manual garden management processes.
- Improve volunteer coordination.
- Simplify plot and crop tracking.
- Record harvest history.
- Provide role-based system access.
- Improve data accuracy and organization.
- Manage user accounts
- Assign user roles
- Activate or deactivate users
- Maintain system security
- Create and manage gardens
- Manage garden plots
- Record harvests
- Invite volunteers

GardenSync follows a Client–Server Architecture, separating the application into three main layers:
- Presentation Layer (UI)
- Application Layer (Business Logic)
- Data Layer (Database)
- Easy maintenance
- Centralized data management
- Better scalability
- Improved security
- Supports multiple concurrent users
Main database entities include:
- User
- Garden
- Plot
- Volunteer Registration
- Volunteer Hours
- Harvest Log
These entities are connected using relational database principles to maintain data integrity and consistency.
The prototype includes professionally designed UI screens for:
- Login
- Garden Manager Dashboard
- Profile Information
- Create Garden
- My Gardens
- Volunteer Management
- Invite Volunteer
- Harvest Dashboard
