Building PlantLens AI for the Hacktoberfest "Touch Grass" Challenge

PlantLens AI is a privacy-focused, AI-powered botanical assistant created for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass. By uploading photos of plants or leaves, users receive instant health assessments, disease or pest identification, and care instructions regarding sunlight and watering. To align with the Touch Grass philosophy, the application minimizes screen time by replacing traditional chatbot interfaces with a single, specific outdoor action task, such as checking soil moisture, to encourage real-world interaction.
