Abstract: The main objective of the proposed system is to provide water to the plants with the help of micro controller that is automatic method. Watering to plants or gardening work can be done automatically with the aid of micro controller. Some times when we are not available in homes and going on vacation then we need to bother about our neighbours, because of watering of plants in our homes. So the proposed system solves this issue. There are several methods possible for this kind of applications. But all are not working proper. Each one fails in some stages. There are flaws in drip irrigation also. The proposed micro controller based system provides best results and solves the issues. This model uses sensor technologies with microcontroller in order to make a smart switching device to help millions of people. In its most basic form, system is programmed in such a way that soil moisture sensor which senses the moisture level from the plant. Solenoid valve will control the water flow in the system, when Arduino reads value from moisture sensor it triggers the solenoid valve according to the desired condition. In addition, system reports its current states and sends the reminder message about watering plants and gets SMS from the recipient
