Kwantlen Polytechnic University, located in Beautiful British Columbia, goes global with this innovative Plant Database App that takes plant and pest identification to a whole new level!
There are over 1500 plant entries and 20,000 images with close-up details of the leaves, flowers, fruits, or cones.
