Cool

Have registered for this and it's great fun... think of it as 'plant bingo'!! You have just as much chance of winning whether you start on day 1 or day 20... some of the tulips look rather worse for wear though!

The campaign from Honda has just gone live, challenging members of the public to tend real-life tulips from the comfort of their own PC – with the fastest blooming plants winning their ‘virtual gardener’ a £5000 holiday and £5000 for charity.

24 young tulip plants have been placed in a greenhouse in London under the care of independent botanists. Budding virtual gardeners signing up at Honda’s ‘Good to Grow’ website (www.honda.co.uk/insight) will be assigned five of these plants to care for; answering questions and completing tasks on the website over the following weeks in order to win extra tending and care to assist their plants’ growth.

Have fun!
