Smart indoor gardens are one of the hottest home trends we saw at this year’s all-digital CES, and are a great way for avid gardeners to automate their green fingers. With the help of intelligent sensors and digital assistants, you can grow your own delicious garden from the comfort of your own home. Here are some of the best indoor smart gardens at CES 2021.

Gardyn’s intelligent in-app assistant, Kelby, lets you know when your plants need a little TLC or when they’re ready to harvest.
Gardyn is an indoor gardening tool with AI technology that allows you to grow fresh produce (no green thumb required). The vertical inner garden consists of a base and three pillars in which the seed pods labeled “yCubes” are placed. The bowl-like seed cubes can be ordered via the Gardyn app. Once shipped, Kelby, Gardyn’s intelligent in-app assistant, will notify you when the plants need water and sunlight and when it’s time to harvest your crops. There is also a 6 gallon water reservoir and pump in the base that is responsible for watering the seeds, as well as two LED grow lights that mimic the sun for optimal growth.

The Personal Rise Garden only takes up 18 inches, making it an ideal accessory for the worktop.
The new Personal Garden from Rise Gardens is perfect for small spaces such as countertops and shelves. The compact Smart Garden can grow four large plants, eight medium-sized plants or 12 small plants. From herbs and flowers to tomatoes, chives, peppers, and kale, the mini indoor garden uses state-of-the-art lights and a built-in irrigation system. By checking compatibility with Amazon Alexa, you can ask the world’s most popular voice assistant for tips on plant care and harvesting. It can also water your plants and provide “sunlight” via voice commands so you can easily watch your garden grow. The garden is priced at $ 279 and is available now.
