Phillips Herbarium
For those of us with a not so green thumb, this gadget will come in handy:
Unveiled in Paris at the Phillips Simplicity Event, this is the Phillips RFID enabled Herbarium, a herb green house. The Herbarium detects which herbs you have planted via tagged pots, and then creates ideal growing conditions for these herbs. So for those of us who untalented in gardening, but still enjoy fresh herbs, the Phillips’ Herbarium is a necessity.
