Whether you're an experienced home gardener or plant-averse, gardening at home has plenty of benefits. Anything from avoiding pesticides—which have been linked to cancer, obesity, and type 2 diabetes—to just wanting to add a little more natural flavor to a home-cooked meal, countertop herb gardens serve many purposes in a home. In addition to making your home cooking more flavorful, certain herbs—like lavender, chamomile, and echinacea—also have healing properties.
Countertop gardens make it easy to grow anything from vegetables to herbal tea and flowers in your home, but they also work by growing plants multiple times faster than outdoor gardens thanks to their specialized light and watering systems. Most indoor hydroponic gardens have features like automatic watering and adjustable lights for optimal plant growth, while some even have connected apps for gardening on-the-go.
So if you're ready to experience the health benefits of growing your own herbs and veggies at home—even if you don't have the space or time for a full backyard garden—check out some of these indoor gardens and save up to 50% right now from top brands.
