Gardyn

With Gardyn, you're one step closer to eating fresh herbs and veggies at home all year round.

What is Gardyn?

Gardyn’s primary product is its indoor hydroponic garden systems, which use smart technology to grow organic plants in small spaces. You don’t need dirt or an outdoor garden bed to grow with Gardyn; even apartment dwellers can start their own garden inside without the mess.

The brand offers over 100 tasty plant varieties suitable for its garden systems, from tomatoes and strawberries to lavender and basil. You can even grow microgreens! Plus, the systems are self-watering, so you won’t have to remember to water plants, either.

Gardyn growing devices grow plants vertically without soil, allowing you to yield the most produce in the smallest footprint. Gardyn devices come in two sizes: a 16-plant system that takes up less than 1-1/2 square feet of space and a 30-plant system that takes up 2 square feet. Each system is outfitted with LED lights and cameras that monitor your crops 24/7, so you don’t have to.
