There has been a “big comeback” of indoor gardening, especially in cities where people often do there gardening in a small apartment and on tiny terraces. Greenhouse space, rooftops, gardens, or even balconies are a luxury for urban gardeners.
For northern gardeners, harsh winters and better quality indoor gardening systems have allowed Greenhouse Fanatics to move their garden activities indoors during long winters. The evolution of LEDs is a big part of why these systems have become more accessible.
In the ever-developing garden kit market, there are experts that rule out the overly complicated kits. For the team at Greenhouse Fanatics, we see most of the ‘over the complicated’ systems as having a steep learning curve.
That said let’s look at some small garden kits to get growing.
