Herbie Goes High Tech

Phillips Design has developed a prototype of a kitchen Herbarium that can automatically change its growing conditions based on what herb you have placed inside it. Read more about the interesting design concept here (scroll about halfway down the page), which uses RFID tags placed inside seed/soil packets.

The Herbarium might be a useful real-world example to discuss in your science classroom if you are using our Seed Germination Gizmo.
