With Gardyn, Get the Technological Edge

There are many similarities between Gardyn’s Home Kit 4.0 and Rise Gardens’ Level 1, right down to the membership options that provide exclusive benefits and discounts for your gardening journey. When making your choice, Gardyn stands out for its advanced technological and support features, which provide extra peace of mind—and more reliable results—for both professional and novice gardeners alike. Home Kit 4.0 shines by offering:
  • State-of-the-art sensors to optimize every facet of plant growth;
  • Stronger, more comprehensive AI-backed plant monitoring;
  • More flexibility in planning and arranging your home garden;
  • Additional features for managing your garden when you’re away from home.

Rely on Advanced Sensor Support

Take the guesswork out of how your plants are doing. While both gardens offer water sensors, Gardyn’s Home Kit 4.0 also adds in light, humidity, and temperature sensors, so you always have a clear, complete picture of all of the factors that can either help or hurt your plants’ growth.

Garden with an Expert Partner

Back by our detailed sensors, the Kelby AI monitors your garden’s progress 24/7. It provides crucial status updates, suggests ways to optimize growth, alerts you to any issues, and provides coaching to help you fix problems—and broaden your general gardening knowledge along the way.

Organize Your Garden Your Way

With Home Kit 4.0, you’re not locked into one garden setup. Thanks to our modular design and plug-and-play yCubes, you can quickly and easily rearrange your plants within the garden as needed, or remove them to make it easier to harvest them for your next meal—no mess, no cleanup.

Take Your Garden With You

While both gardens feature WiFi-enabled apps, Home Kit 4.0 doesn’t just offer tips or reminders—it lets you fully manage your settings wherever you are, thanks to Kelby’s oversight. A vacation mode lets you turn things down until you get back, and live camera views and timelapse options provide additional visibility.

Gardyn vs. Rise Gardens: The Final Decision

For anyone looking to purchase a new home indoor garden, both Home Kit 4.0 and Level 1 offer similar basic functionality and produce selections to get you up and growing in no time.
