New This Year At The Chelsea Flower Show: A Tweet-Controlled Garden

Now you don’t need a green thumb to be a skilled gardener – all you need is a thumb, period.

At this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, May 21-25 in London, Twitter users will be able to control the appearance of one of the display gardens.

Called Digital Capabilities, the 20×10 foot plot will be divided into two separate planting zones by a Perspex-paneled wall, which connects to a computer. Those panels will open or close depending on the volume of tweets which use the hashtag #rhschelsea.
