In my 9 Days till Christmas post, I talked about green walls that are typically decorative more than function. If decorative planting isn’t enough for your gardener, maybe it’s time you introduce them to indoor gardening where breakthroughs in LED technology and hydroponics lets all-year long be peak growing season.
Is Agriculture Moving Indoors?
Indoor gardening (and on a larger scale, indoor farming) is much the rage right now. With climate change and other environmental issues, many people believe that growing food inside will be a necessity and not a luxury in the near future. The cool thing about the new products on the market is that they are compact, clean and easy to use. Here’s a few ideas to help your garden-lover grow fantastic lettuces, carrots and other veggies while also pioneering the next wave of technology that might just save humanity.

Hydrofarm has a Jump Start kit that’s a mere 2 feet long so it can fit easily fit in a New York City apartment or a small suburban house. The kit doesn’t include the light, soil or seeds. At the price offered at Jet.com, it’s one of the best doors of entry for taking your vegetables into your living room…or bedroom…or basement.
Every indoor gardener needs the right lights to get seeds to germinate and sprout. Yescom makes a residential/novice LED Plant Lamp that is both highly function and super cool. It glows purple so it not only gets plants active, it also alters the ambiences of any room its in.
If you want to give something that is much more professional grade within all the trays, lighting and automation included, the Growbox by OPCOM Farm. It’s on the pricey end of indoor gardening kits and it lacks the design quality I personally think is required to make anything successful, but it is a powerful tool for any indoor gardener.
If you are looking for a smaller, more designed option, go with Click & Grow. It takes out all of the guesswork and literally gets the interior Garden of Eden going with a click. It’s perfect for anyone that wants a little more fresh veggies in their life.
