Botanicalls Kits

http://www.botanicalls.com/about/

They did the original prototype with an Arduino and then went to a board that looks like a leaf.

from the web site:

Botanicalls opens a new channel of communication between plants and humans, in an effort to promote successful inter-species understanding.

The Botanicalls project is fundamentally about communication between plants and people. We are empowering both by inventing new avenues of interaction. Plants that might otherwise be neglected are given the ability to call and text message people to request assistance. People who are unsure of their ability to effectively care for growing things are given visual and aural clues using common human methods of communication.

Who are we?

Botanicalls is an ongoing collaboration between Rob Faludi, Kate Hartman, and Kati London.
