Description / Synopsis
Dubbed "Talk to the Plant," the site lets visitors type in words of encouragement which will be played through voice synthesis to plants that are housed in a Swedish lab. Inspired by the stat that 75% of plant owners talk to their plants, Daddy's goal is to determine if they grow better with human interaction. The site also features a blog and provides info on Heinz's ketchup-growing methods.
