Urban Gardening

vertical soil-free gardens - use 90% less water and land

Growing healthy fresh produce at home, a restaurant, school, hotel or high-rise patio has never been easier or more sustainable.

HOW TO: Grow a Lot of Food in a Little Space

Just because you don't have a plot of land doesn't mean you can't grow your own food. It just means you need to get vertical! 

Tower Garden represents the next generation of urban farming. This highly efficient aeroponic growing system allows you to grow MASSIVE AMOUNTS of produce in a TINY AMOUNT of space -- in about HALF THE TIME of traditional soil-based agriculture, using just A FRACTION of the water and space!

HEY URBAN FARMER!

It doesn't get more local than your own backyard. (Or, shall we say, your own patio, rooftop, terrace, balcony, deck, or porch?)  Tower Garden makes it simple to grow your own fresh, nutritious produce -- even if your outdoor space is limited. AND we now have GROW LIGHTS so you can GROW INDOORS All YEAR! 

OUR GARDENS ARE:

  • EFFICIENT: Grow 20-28 plants in just 2.5 feet by 2.5 feet of space

  • ECO-FRIENDLY: Uses one tenth the water and land required by traditional growing and virtually eliminates the need to ship and store produce

  • EASY: Easy to assemble, and there's no weeding, tilling, or kneeling

  • COST-EFFECTIVE: Lasts a lifetime and easily pays for itself -- typically in about 2 years

  • SAFE: Made from USDA-approved, UV-stabilized, food-grade plastic

EAT LOCAL: From Tower to Table! 

Tower Gardens are now popping up all over the U.S.; Chicago O'Hare Airport Terminal, Boys and Girls Clubs, Restaurant Rooftops, Urban Patios and Schools.

GROW: Up to 30% More Healthy Food, 3x Faster

Using aeroponics—the same technology NASA uses—Tower Garden grows plants with only water and nutrients rather than dirt. Research has found aeroponic systems grow plants three times faster and produce 30% greater yields on average. That means you’ll be enjoying abundant, nutritious harvests just weeks after planting.

Stephen Ritz and his students built a tower garden in their classroom to learn about urban farming and nutrition.
