The (mental AND physical) benefits of indoor gardeningĪccording to How to Spend It, sales of The Royal Horticultural Society’s vegetable seeds have gone up by 1,293%. The best ones come with in-built ‘plant grow lights’ that simulate sunlight to help with photosynthesis, self-watering reservoirs so you don’t need to top up everyday, notification systems that tell you when the levels are running low and even vacation mode settings so your indoor plants don’t die when you are travelling (that’s my biggest bugbear!).Īnd these indoor garden systems, from the Aerogarden Harvest to Click ‘n Grow, are literally flying off the shelf, since we are not only learning the value of being self-sufficient but also how relaxing and comforting it is to have nature thriving within the walls of our own homes. These indoor gardening kits also use less water than traditional plant pots and are a great way to dress up an indoor space.
Which means you don’t need a green thumb, much space, direct sunlight, or twiddling with things like soil moisture, peat moss, water levels and growing medium. Today, it’s easy to grow all kinds of fresh herbs, vegetables and flowers right on your countertop - any countertop, including work desks and bedside tables - with innovative indoor gardening systems that require almost no maintenance.
Which makes them absolutely perfect for apartment dwellers. Or basically putting in any effort whatsoever. Or windowsills with good amounts of sunlight. Or grocery store.Ī way of indoor gardening right in your living space sans any requirements of garden beds. Or bunches of colorful pansies and petunias growing on your desk.Īll this without having to make a trip to the farm.
Or snipping absolutely farm fresh basil onto your pizza. Or brewing a cup of tea with pesticide-free mint straight off the stalk. Imagine having a bunch of organic greens and cherry tomatoes for your salad growing right in your kitchen.
