The Best Indoor Garden Kits & Herb Gardens

Perhaps, we should not have started with the most expensive kit, yet this one is something unique and deserves the attention of all those who want to take their indoor gardening to another level, and grow not only herbs but a variety of vegetables as well. This Triple Family Garden kit from Rise Gardens features three levels on which you can plant herbs, carrots, tomatoes, and other healthy goods. It comes with five gallons watering system (overall this garden needs about 4 gallons of water per week), and custom LED light panels that imitate sunlight. That means you do not have to worry about watering the garden, plus all your herbs and vegetables will grow well even in the darkest spot in your house. Speaking of features, because of built-in LED lights, fertilizing, and watering systems leafy greens and vegetables can be grown all year round without depending on the weather or season.   

To make it even more attractive to home gardeners, this Triple Family Garden kit can be connected to your phone via the app so you know exactly when to add nutrients and water, manage lights, and track the progress of your plants, and harvest at the right time.  

Besides trays, lights, and watering system, the kit includes six Salad Mix Box (Bronze Arrowhead Lettuce, Parris Island Cos Lettuce, Astro Arugula, Red-Streaked Mizuna Mustard), Three Herb Mix Box (Super Sweet Genovese Basil, Common Sage, Forest Green Parsley, Santo Cilantro), Three Variety Pack (Little Bing Tomato, Starbor Kale, Swiss Chard and Snackable Red Pepper). With all that we can easily declare that this is the best vertical indoor garden kit.   

AeroGarden Harvest Elite kit is a stylish-looking garden that fits into any modern kitchen décor. With included LED lights you can grow herbs all year round at a fast speed. As one customer noted, she planted six basil pods in this, and they sprouted within a couple of days and have grown into lush, healthy basil plants. Built-in sensors provide you with information about when to add water and plant food, and the automatic system turns the light on and off. You can also customize ‘light-on’ times to optimize growth for different plant varieties. For example, herbs, vegetables, lettuce and flowers can grow faster with a light cycle adjusted to their needs.  

This top indoor hydroponic herb garden also allows you to create a little garden with no mess: all plants grow naturally in water with no soil. Plus, herbs grow faster, getting everything they need from the water and plant food than in standard garden soil. 

In this Click and Grow best indoor vegetable garden kit you can grow tomatoes, lettuce and basil. However, besides the standard seeds that comes with the kit, one of the customers noted that she bought three-pack of strawberries, and planted that instead of the lettuce: thanks to energy-efficient LED lights, it worked wonderfully.   

The kit comes with Smart Soil-based plant pods that gradually release necessary nutrition, while automatically stabilizing pH levels and oxygenating the roots even when wet. The automatic watering works via capillary action, which makes for it a completely silent unit. Thus, if you are living in an apartment with poor soundproof this Click and Grow smart garden might be the right choice for you.   

The Smart Garden comes with a set of plant pods. In the package, you will find three mini tomatoes, three basil and three green lettuce plant pods. To start growing put the plant pods into their cavities, fill the water reservoir and plug in the power adaptor.   

This is another indoor garden kit from Click and Grow; however, this one is a bit smaller: it includes only three pots and is suggested to use for herbs only.   

The kit has built-in energy-efficient LED grow lights to ensure your plants thrive no matter the weather, self-watering tank, and water level indicator. It also includes complimentary basil seeds; however, you can choose from over 50 pre-seeded plant pods for your herb garden like lavender, strawberries, thyme, cilantro, basil, and chilli peppers and order them from the brand.  

As one customer noted, this is a well-built product that looks great in any space. However, one complaint a few users had was that the product should not be considered a ‘smart’ product – the light is on a 16-hour timer and that is it. Also, it cannot adjust the timer or monitor anything about the planter. 

Back to the Roots water garden is an ideal choice for kids: it is entertaining and educational. The kit is a self-cleaning fish tank that grows organic sprouts and herbs. The closed-loop ecosystem Water Garden kit comes with all necessary items: three-gallon, shatter-resistant fish tank, gravel, organic seeds, grow stones, and natural d-chlorinator. It works in a cycle: fish releases nutrient-rich waste into the water (in regular fish tanks released waste builds up and becomes harmful), the plants eat the nutrients as food at the same time filtering the water to go back down to the fish. Thus, you can make it a fun activity of feeding the fish, planting seeds and then watching together with kids how plants grow. 

This self-watering growing kit requires very low maintenance: the wick pulls water from the jar to the plant root which means you will not need to water it frequently. All you have to do is refill the jar when there is not much water left.   

The Environet Hydroponic Herb Growing Kit includes pot (with wick), three pre–seeded grow plug of lavender, oregano, rosemary and three mason jars. So, you can start planting right away, and in about seven days enjoy fresh sprouts.   

To start planting just add two cups of water to each mason jar, and then place the net pot and the band back to the mason jar. Then, remove the plug cover in seven days or when the seeds begin to sprout.  

This artistic herb mason jar can lighten up any home: you can put it on your windowsill, your kitchen counter or anywhere you like. As one customer noted, it is a great system for a beginner or someone with little space: easy to set up and fun to watch sprout. 

This mini-indoor greenhouse is a compact system that provides optimal conditions for seed development and plant growth: a transparent cover made of a 300-micron thick silicone film protects plants from sudden changes in temperatures, wind, and insects. (The perfect place to keep this mini garden is at a balcony or patio.) The transparent cover is also provided with a folding canopy door with a zipper, that allows easy access to plants for watering and care. Overall, it creates an optimal microclimate for plants; hence, you get excellent results.  

This mini garden consists collapsible frame structure of durable aluminum tubes with a diameter of 12 mm that can withstand a total load of 20 kg. You can place pots or trays with a variety of herbs and vegetables planted on the shelves. As one customer noted, this far exceeded her expectations, it is perfectly fitting in the closet and does exactly what she needs it to do.
