Plant Partner by Josh Rubin
To love plants does not necessarily mean you know how to take care of them. Dr. Frog is here to help.

He even knows when it's night time (through light sensors in his eyes) and will keep quiet so you get your sleep.

Outside-In
Another prototype from Promise Design, Phytoslim is a modular system for growing plants on walls. Its slim panels are made of coconut fibers and supported by a hidden plastic skeleton. The 2"-thick pieces supposedly attach to any surface, indoor or out, vertical or horizontal. Although we're absolutely smitten with the idea of a grass-covered interior wall, the sheer logistics leave doubts in our minds:...
