Why give mere flowers this Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or just because, when you can give the ultimate in cool new botanical technology, the AeroGarden3 - Florist in a Box Set ($100). It uses all-natural high-tech hydroponic technology to automatically grow fresh florist-quality vibrant flowers, twice as fast as soil-grown plants indoors, all year long. Simply install the seed pods, fill it with water and the unit will automatically control the water flow and lighting and let you know when to add more water or drop in another nutrient tablet. It doesn't get any easier than this and it includes everything you will need, including accent vases. (via The Green Head)

A great gift for those special occasions....and the best part is....they get to grow their own!
