I bought this system for Christmas and I’ve only had it for a month and I’m so impressed! Everything is growing so well and it is so therapeutic. My son and I love it so much and enjoy looking at it every day.

I am loving my indoor garden that I received for Christmas. I had never heard or seen such a garden . My husband surprised me with this gift and unlike most Christmas gifts were the excitement wears off or gifts that go unused this one continues to bring me joy and excitement every day !
I highly recommend to anyone who is looking to grow fresh produce in their home year-round !

I find having my garden in view as a walk around the house feels really peaceful. It’s been very fun watching the sprouts pop up and start growing. I have been able to eat salads regularly and it’s so fresh! Love it!

Straddling the fence

I've had my gardyn setup and running for over a year now. I have paid into the membership, which I have since removed myself from because I found it to be too expensive, and not worth the money. The free pod points were great, but not worth the monthly expense when I wasn't using them fast enough, and figured they wouldn't be as viable the longer they sat around.
As far as my experience... the first year I bought veggies and leafy greens. I can say the veggies, such as peppers, cucumber, tomatoes were all duds. They were all like ornamental size produce, and too small to be eaten. The leafy greens, such as lettuce, greens, and green onions did well, but don't produce enough to really make a meal out of, if you also are growing other vegetables.
And not all pods even produce anything. A good deal of my pods did nothing but grow algae or mold.
Second time around, I cleaned the system and started from scratch. This time trying my luck with flowers. This was a good choice. I have lots of beautiful colorful flowers blooming, and out of 14 pods, only 2 did not grow.
I also need to note connectivity... the system drops a lot from wifi. The lights will just stay on 24 hrs a day, and the watering schedule will stop, causing your plants to dry out. Most times I'm not even aware the system has dropped from wifi, because the app will still show it's connected. That is quite irritating because your delicate growing pods will be damaged to the point of no recovery.
All in all, even though I do like the system for some things, I can't say I would recommend it, because of the hefty price tag for the system. Unless you have money to throw away, which a lot of us don't, it's a fun novelty. If you're buying because you thought you'd have a healthy indoor gardening experience year round, you may find yourself disappointed.

Extremely well made and grows delicious food!

I’ve had my Gardyn Home (aka 4.0) for almost a year and I’ve been so impressed as to how well this system is made. A few months ago my family and I moved to a new home so I needed to disassemble my Gardyn and pack it back up in the box it shipped in - talk about EASY! I was originally nervous but after setting it back up in our new home, it was a breeze and we’re back to enjoying a constant flow of fresh food. I’m also a huge fan of Kelby (AI Assistant) simply because I’m a very busy woman and toddler mom - Kelby keeps me on track and reminds me when I need to do a task, love it!
