Simple and Easy

I bought this a few months ago and waited to get a full experience before I gave my feedback. Overall, it's not bad. My initial reasoning for purchasing the Click & Grow garden was because of the lack of sufficient light in my work office. So far I have grown Sweet Allyssums which grew rather fast. I saw sprouts in a matter of 2-3 days. It was really exciting to watch these little guys grow. I am now considering on transplanting them so I can start growing some herbs. I've noticed that over time the 'smart' soil gets a bit moldy from the moisture. I'm not sure if this is just an issue that I'm solely encountering or if this is an issue shared by others. Either way, it hasn't seemed to really affect the growth of the plant. (Sweet Alyssums) The App is okay. It's not necessary and is more supplemental to the Click and Grow than anything. It is helpful for reminding you when to water the garden and giving helpful little tips. You can also use it to track the growth of your plants with it's provided camera app and gallery. But when all is said and done, you could go without it. The garden isn't smart as far using digital technology, the app doesn't control the garden. The garden simply sustains itself with the water tank and the lamp. Taking care of the garden is pretty manageable. The tank will need to be refilled about every two weeks and the app will remind you when to water the plants. The lamp that helps grow the plants is on it's own timer, which can only be set when you plug in the garden. It would be nice to set a specific time on when the lamp turns on. The timer resets when you unplug it the garden and then will restart the cycle when you plug it back in. Overall it's been a great experience and I'm looking forward to growing more herbs and plants.

Love it!

I used AeroGarden previously, but Click and Grow has addressed several of its shortcomings: 1. It simplifies the growing process — there’s no need to set timers or add fertilizer manually. 2. It’s much cleaner. AeroGarden can get quite messy as plants grow larger, with fertilizer stains and extensive root cleanup required. The design of Click and Grow is both stylish and practical, built to last — no LCD screen that might malfunction, and the light arms are sturdy. Some users have mentioned that the far-right pod receives less light, but this is an easy fix: simply rotate that pod with another so all plants receive even lighting and grow uniformly.

Included plants began sprouting quickly with little fuss!!

Love this, it's literally just assemble and forget about it! The pods included were for basil and they started growing within a couple of weeks of set up. I also ordered Holy Basil that started growing around the same time. I'm currently waiting on the experimental pod to sprout but that may be a seed issue more than a product issue and that can't be blamed on this product. Definitely recommend it as a gift for a plant lover in your life or as a treat for yourself if you're looking for a quick and easy way to bring some greenery or healthier choices into your life!

Great for small spaces or if light is a concern

We picked up this garden as a present to have some herbs on hand in the kitchen without having to worry about critters destroying them in the yard. We have had the garden for about a month and it seems to be great so far. The seedlings sprouted quickly and we have harvested some basil for a corn and zucchini salad. This could not be more simple to get set up you literally plug it in and add water. The design is aesthetically pleasing too. Really happy and excited to try to grow some other plants in it soon
