Gardin is a UK-based agritech company (Abingdon, Oxfordshire) whose product, Gardin Pulse, is a real-time plant-level crop intelligence platform built on an optical sensor that measures chlorophyll fluorescence to assess photosynthetic efficiency. The sensors detect crop stress weeks before visible symptoms appear, letting growers optimise lighting, irrigation and climate control across glasshouses, polytunnels and indoor farms. Gardin exposes this plant-health data to growers and developers through the Gardin API — a set of OAuth2 client-credentials-secured HTTP services covering sensor/device management, an asynchronous bulk Query API for chlorophyll-fluorescence and Gardin-indices data, and a Notification API that delivers real-time plant alerts over webhooks and websockets. Gardin also integrates plant feedback into leading climate-control systems including Priva, Ridder and LetsGrow.
