When you think of gardening, you might picture someone wearing a sunhat in a backyard under the sun with tomato plants and sunflowers all around them. Sounds nice! But we don’t always think about the many types of produce that can be grown indoors. Yet, indoor gardening is an ideal and beneficial alternative to traditional gardening that, if you’re here, you’ve probably heard of and have an interest in trying. But, it can be a bit overwhelming to start from scratch. We promise that it’s a lot simpler than it seems, and the pay-off is well worth it.
We’re here to guide you through all the steps to consider and provide you with useful tips and tricks to show you the many benefits of innovative indoor gardening for beginners.
In this article, we’ll take you through all the basics to learn, including:
Let’s start with indoor gardening systems and how they work. Indoor gardening can be done through hydroponic systems which is a method for growing plants, herbs, and/or fruits using water and nutrients, without the need for soil. Growing plants and produce this way has many benefits – hydroponics requires less clean-up, less water and less space than traditional gardening. By using an innovative indoor gardening system, you can also reduce labor, reduce your environmental footprint all the while producing tons of high-quality food.
Ultimately, indoor gardening allows you to have fresh, nutritious, and sustainable food in your home ⎯ with less effort than traditional outdoor gardening. Even if you’re a total beginner to indoor gardening, we’ll make sure you have everything you need to start growing delicious, organic and healthy food in your own home.

Trust us, there aren’t that many steps, but there is some careful thinking that goes into the process so that you can enjoy different and fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs in a matter of weeks.
Your indoor garden is going to be the highlight of your home, which is why design is so important among other things. Luckily, the modern design of the new Gardyn Home Kit 3.0 allows you to grow plants vertically. Your garden makes the most of any small space and can fit almost anywhere in your house (or apartment) and takes up minimal floor space. The LED grow lights will ensure that houseplants get all the light they need, without being near a windowsill or direct sunlight. You don’t even need to attach a water line ⎯ all you need for your indoor garden is a spot against the wall (i.e. your kitchen, common room, or corner space) with a power outlet and a WiFi network. Indoor gardening for beginners couldn’t be easier!
Now the fun part ⎯ choosing your plants! You can grow anything from greens, to flowers, to herbs, to fruits and veggies. Our starter kit comes with 30 pre-selected plants, but you can always add more with the yCubes. These containers offer more than enough choice with over 100 varieties so you try something new or replace a plant from your starter kit. All the offered varieties have been rigorously tested to help even beginner indoor gardeners to harvest the tastiest and most beautiful plants and produce.
