The Raspberry Pi will be the host to the website and using it's GPIO, will monitor and control multiple plants and gardens.

Meteor may not be the best framework for this project.
It seems like a lot of overhead just to do something as simple as log the temp and control a water actuator. There are plenty of python scripts that will do this with a much smaller footprint.
Currently, I don't know the limitations of the Raspberry PI with Meteor, it uses a lot of resources to do some simple things. I've seen network traffic refreshing the site reach 1.3 MB. This could become a problem in the future for a large garden, or a lot of scheduled tasks.
After a refresh, it seems to load a bit less.
Hopefully this doesn't become a problem down the road?
