A smart grow device includes a set of sensors with at least one camera； a set of care resources； and a controller able to at least partly control the set of care resources based on evaluation of data received from the set of sensors. An automated method of providing plant care includes: retrieving a set of sensor measurements； retrieving model plant data including a set of evaluation criteria； comparing the set of sensor measurements to the set of evaluation criteria in order to determine at least one plant status； and updating active plant data based on the at least one plant status and the set of sensor measurements. An automated plant care system includes: a set of sensors； a set of resources； multiple planters； and at least one controller able to at least partly control the set of resources based on evaluation of data received from the set of sensors.
