Growing an outdoor garden can be challenging. Whether you have a green thumb or not, starting a garden requires time, patience, trial and error and a willingness to get your hands dirty. It also requires special cooperation from Mother Nature and ample backyard space.
If you’re on the fence about digging up your backyard, you’ll want to hold off. Carrie Underwood showed Us how she grows all sorts of plants, veggies and herbs from the comfort of her home, all without sacrificing nature’s real estate.
“Got one of these thingies from @gardyntech,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “I’m impressed! I don’t have any affiliation with the company . . . just wanted to be able to grow some things indoors.”
We found the exact vertical garden Underwood uses, one that can grow up to 30 plants with very little effort — and no green thumb required. This fail-proof growing system allows you to plant flowers, fruit, greens, herbs and veggies in the comfort of your home (or studio apartment), taking up just two square-feet of space. It may be small, but it’s mighty, providing up to 10 pounds of plants every month.
This self-watering garden has a smart assistant, Kelby, that monitors the plants at all stages of growth. It also uses a network of sensors to ensure success, even offering suggestions to promote growth. Kelby controls everything, assessing indoor temperature, humidity, water usage and growth rates to optimize plant health.
Unlike most indoor gardens, you don’t have to worry about messes, watering or lighting. Everything is done for you! All you have to do is set up the system, trim and thin your plants, refresh the water tank and harvest. Kelby even takes care of your plants while you’re on vacation, allowing you to monitor its growth in real-time via the app and included high-resolution camera.
All plants are organic and non-GMO, so you can feel good about what you’re growing. You’ll have fresh produce in five weeks, just in time for summer hosting. It’s no wonder reviewers are coming back for seconds!
If you want to start small, opt for the Gardyn Studio, which grows 16 plants at a time. Regardless of the size you choose, this system makes the perfect gift for anyone trying to eat healthier and save money. It even doubles as decor!
