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.
