Gardyn 2.0 Love! A review of my electric indoor hydroponic garden… and what’s next?
It’s Gardyn Love + It’s Sometimes Gardyn Hate at the same time – my lessons in hydroponic gardening.
My Gardyn Story
It’s the holiday season and my husband asked me what I want for Christmas. Of course, I threw him softball and told him exactly what I wanted… I wanted a small indoor garden so that I could grow my herbs for my kitchen – my first venture into hydroponic gardening. I always purchase herbs at the grocery store during each visit and I have successfully kept my Trader Joe’s basil plant alive for over 3 months, so my green thumb is thriving, and I am ready to garden.
It’s Christmas morning and with glee and excitement I open my “huge” gift!!! Wow, this isn’t my small counter size indoor herb garden, as suggested… this was a full size, AI integrated, electric, hydroponic, herb garden that would take residence in my dining room (the only place that it would fit in my home). I was grateful and overwhelmed at the same time. This began my love and my sometimes hate with my Gardyn.
Of course, here at Create Your Own Reality we will share options where you can purchase these items – thank you for purchasing from these links if you are interested in making a purchase at Amazon https://amzn.to/42aJEcO.

My “Sometimes Hate” List
- It requires a tad more upkeep than I originally thought (cleaning and feeding it appropriately – it’s not autopilot)
- It’s an expensive upfront investment and the monthly membership can be costly for some; however, there are some additional hacks (some Gardyners have reported using the subscription for the first year and then taking the lessons learned and planting their own ypods).
- The lights remain on for a substantial part of the day – make sure that you adjust to a schedule that works with any time-of-day rates from your energy company.
My Gardyn brings me joy!
My Gardyn in various stages!
In conclusion, my journey with the Gardyn indoor garden has been a mix of excitement and challenges. While the advanced AI technology and the personalized recommendations from Kelby have made gardening fun and educational, the size and upkeep of the garden have been more demanding than anticipated. Despite these challenges, the joy of having fresh, nutritious produce at home and the sense of accomplishment make it all worthwhile. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a beginner, the Gardyn offers a unique and rewarding experience that can transform your home into a green oasis.
