Gardyn vs. Click & Grow — Let’s Start with Click & Grow

The Smart Garden 27, offered by Click & Grow, allows you to grow up to 27 plants in a three-tiered birch plywood stand that can also be mounted to your wall. You can choose from a variety of fruits, herbs, and greens, which come in small plant pods with all of the seeds and nutrients you need. Want to grow something else? You can also buy seedless pods and plant the seeds of your choice.

Once you plug in your pods, the system provides automated light and watering to optimize your plant growth — you’ll just need to refill the water tank every 2-3 weeks, on average.
