About the Maker
created by
Sarah Burrows and Nick Behr
Prior to launching their company, Sarah and Nick struggled to sustain a kitchen garden in their fourth-floor Chicago apartment. Despite both honing their gardening skills as children, as busy adults they struggled to grow anything (container gardening is incredibly challenging). They turned to hydroponics for help and were astounded by the results, but unimpressed with the quality of products available. With that, the seed for their stylish, space-saving indoor gardens was planted.

Might rate higher depending out what happens
The packaging and jar are really nice. I followed the instructions and sprinkled the Rosemary seeds on the rocks (medium) and waited about 2 weeks and then saw my first little sprout. I was super excited and waited another week to see if I would get more sprouts before adding the fertilizer as instructed but only got the one sprout. I added the fertilizer a couple of days ago and have my fingers crossed. If I get more growth I'll be really happy but it looks like the one seed that sprouted is the only seed that will. I guess I can always use the jar for something else if it doesn't work out or I might try to buy more seeds and just add them.
Response from merchant
Thank you for your review! We're not hearing of any trends in issues with this item. The seeds may take longer to sprout depending on growing conditions, and it's unusual to have such limited results. If you're not completely satisfied, we'd love to make it right!

Fun addition to the kitchen and your cooking!
I am a novice when it comes to gardening but have been trying to cook healthier with fresher ingredients. The indoor parsley mason jar was a fun addition to the kitchen which was perfect for both my non green thumb and my recipes ! My only call out is the water fill line seemed more than 2 cups of water that was instructed to use in the directions. Otherwise easy peasy !

Cute little kit
The kit was super easy to use, and now I have little sprouts popping up! I wish there were more seeds to use after this round.

This product is so cute!
This item is super cute. Takes a little longer to sprout, but once sprouted, they shoot up and are growing great! I would definitely recommend this product!

What are the white "rock" looking material? Does algae build up on the glass?
Verified reply from Andy
Hi! The white "rock" looking material is a hydroponic system. We recommend watching the video near the photos to get a closer look. Anytime you have nutrient rich water there is going to be some algae growth. The jar can be easily rinsed and wiped out with warm water.

Can you use any seeds or do you have to buy seed pods or something through you? If the latter, are green onions available?
Verified reply from Michelle
Each kit comes with seeds, and while we don't have green onions right now, the options we have are organic basil, organic cilantro, organic parsley, mint, or rosemary.

Can these jars be re-used again with new store bought seeds, when the ones that came with the jar are used up? Will the new seeds work like the original one?
Verified reply from Michelle
The stainless steel net pot and recycled glass grow medium can both be reused—simply rinse with hot water. Add new seeds and use soil or coco pith to help seeds germinate. Use a water-soluble fertilizer and follow its instructions.

How is it self watering? I tend to over water. How do you not overwater without a drain hole (assuming that there is not one)?
Verified reply from Maxienne
A combination of an inert porous growing medium and a wick transports water and nutrients to the plant roots via capillary action. The nutrient solution is held in a reservoir and taken up as needed, providing the perfect balance of water to oxygen.

Can these be used/grown in hot temps? I have lots of sun, but the room is about 90 degrees most days and humid.
Verified reply from Cassandre
Yes, these can and during the outdoor growing season you can even place the jar outside. If temps outside drop below 55°F,remove jar from outside/window to prevent cold damage.

I received the basil and cilantro as a gift on valentine's day (February 14th). I move to a new house in April (so in 2 months) and wanted to wait to plant them then. Will they still grow normally? or should I plant then as soon as possible. Thank you
Verified reply from Leslie
Hello! You don't have to plant them immediately; waiting 2 months would be fine. The included plant food does not expire.

My cilantro has thin grey mold growing over the surface of the soil. How can I correct this problem and stop it from happening again?
Verified reply from Amy
Our guess is this is "powdery mildew", which is common to cilantro. A quick internet search will offer you some suggestions on how to best handle this, depending on your climate! We wish your little plant luck!
