Summary: | Innovation supported in the application of information and communication technology (ICT) triggered
the start of the digital economy and opened many opportunities and organizational efficiencies.
Likewise, in the management of trees or plants, the need to manage information, data and records in a
systematic, efficient and effective manner needs to be emphasized. The plant's manual record-keeping
system is not relevant anymore in this new digital era and requires a more proficient solution. Therefore,
this study focuses on developing a Herb Garden Management System (HGMS) to improve the
efficiency of herb garden management at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). Information systems that
were previously used manually will be converted into digital form to facilitate data storage and avoid
duplication of information. The respondent is the workers from the Agricultural, Landscape, Forestry
Units, Department of Development and Maintenance (JPP), UUM. They are the responsible unit that
maintains and care for UUM’s landscape and environment, including the herb garden. This study was
conducted through observation and face-to-face interview. By implementing a centralized database
significantly enhances data accessibility and control. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the
importance of good plant management in forming a sustainable landscape to conserve natural resources,
especially in university green areas.
