The May 15th edition of BBC World’s Click program covered the release of the Botanicalls Kit in their News beat. This is the second time the BBC has touted Botanicalls to the English-speaking world of leaf-lovers and hopefully we can keep them all as perennial fans now that they can buy a kit.
The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago is featuring Botanicalls as part of its Smart Home: Green + Wired exhibit. The Smart Home is a real, three-story modular and sustainable “green” home in the Museum’s own backyard to teach about the ways, big and small, that visitors can make eco-friendly living a part of their lives.
Museum visitors are taken on a tour of the home. In the upstairs office, they get a live demonstration of a Botanicalls English Ivy, which makes a phone call to complaining about its thirst. Guests can also buy their own Botanicalls Kit on the exhibit’s web site. You can see the home and its talking plant in Chicago through January 4th, 2009.
