An automated watering and temperature system Instructable with a good dose of plant science. Also, it will probably make you smile, so bonus.

TE+ND (Terrestrial Exploration + Nurture Designed) Rovers “are an interactive art project that explore migratory ecology in an era of climate change.” At about 2′ X 3′ tall, they carry hydroponic growing stations on their backs while they seek out light and water and interact with participants.  If you missed them at Maker Faire 2012, check out the MAKE interview.
