The Eco Learning Smart Garden was developed in response to increasing environmental challenges, rapid urbanization, and the growing need to integrate sustainability into education. As global concerns such as climate change and resource depletion intensify, initiatives encouraged by the United Nations through the Sustainable Development Goals highlight the importance of environmental awareness and quality education. The motivation of this study is to create an innovative learning environment that combines ecological practices with smart technology to promote experiential, technology-driven sustainability education. The main objectives of the project are to enhance students’ environmental knowledge and awareness, integrate STEM learning with real-world applications, promote efficient resource management, and develop a scalable smart gardening model for schools. The methodology employed a mixed-method approach, including the design and installation of environmental sensors (soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and light), an automated irrigation system, composting practices, and structured garden-based learning activities. Data were collected through system monitoring, pre- and post-surveys, observations, and student reflections. Key findings indicate improved environmental awareness, increased student engagement, better understanding of STEM concepts, and reduced water usage through smart irrigation. The project concludes that the Eco Learning Smart Garden effectively bridges sustainability and digital innovation in education. Its low-cost, modular design demonstrates strong potential for commercialization in schools, educational institutions, and community learning centre’s as a practical green education solution.
