The Many Benefits of Tower Garden
Why choose Tower Garden over traditional soil gardening—or just buying produce at the store? Especially in schools, Tower Garden offers hands-on learning, year-round growing, and a safe, clean way for students to explore food, science, and sustainability. Here are just a few benefits of gardening with Tower Garden:
Hands-On, Real-World Learning:
- Integrates seamlessly into STEM, nutrition, and environmental science curricula.
- Encourages problem-solving, critical thinking, and observation skills.
- Helps students understand plant life cycles, ecosystems, and sustainability in an interactive way.
Healthier Eating Habits:
- Students are more likely to try fresh fruits and vegetables they’ve grown themselves.
- Promotes an appreciation for where food comes from and the benefits of fresh produce.
- Supports long-term healthy lifestyle habits.
Year-Round Growing, Anywhere:
- Indoor growing with LED lights means no dependence on weather or seasons.
- Maximizes limited space—ideal for classrooms, cafeterias, or common areas.
- No soil means no mess, pests, or heavy garden maintenance.
Efficient & Sustainable:
• Minimal water usage. Uses as little as 2% of water as traditional gardening.
• Leaves a smaller CO2 footprint. Reduce your carbon footprint by eliminating supermarket transit and storage.
• Uses only 10% of the land of traditional farming. The vertical design uses 90% less land normally required to grow produce.
• Recycles 100% of nutrients and water. Tower Garden uses a closed-system technology to recycle 100% of its nutrients and water.
• Reduces need for pesticides and herbicides. The pH-balanced ionic minerals and plant nutrients in the Mineral Blends produce strong, healthy plants that can better protect themselves from plant pests and disease—without pesticides.
How Tower Garden Works
Simply and easily is the short answer! Whether you're growing indoors or out, your Tower Garden comes with everything you need to get growing, with minimal assembly and setup.
Seeds, Seedlings, and Rockwool
Tower Garden plants start growing in a spongey material called rockwool. This soilless medium gives roots plenty of oxygen and moisture for fast, healthy growth. The Tower Garden kit comes with a variety of starter seeds with planting instructions that will set you up for growing success. Once your seeds have sprouted (germinated) and turned into cute little seedlings, you’ll place them in your Tower Garden to start watching them thrive and grow.
Reservoir and Nutrient Solution
The reservoir that acts as the base of your Tower Garden holds a mixture of Tower Garden Mineral Blend and water. The Mineral Blend is our proprietary plant food and provides Tower Garden plants with healthy nutrients and minerals for the best possible uptake and growth
Pump, Timer, and Away We Grow!
How does it all work? Simply put, it rains inside! A pump in the reservoir pushes the nutrient solution to the top of your Tower Garden. From there, the solution rains down over the plant roots inside the Tower Garden. The automated timer restarts the process regularly, so your plants always get the ideal amount of oxygen, water, and nutrients, with minimal attention required.
Harvest Deliciousness
Within a few weeks, your plants are harvest-ready. Other than minor upkeep like checking water levels and keeping the pump filter clean, all you need to do is wait. And while your plants are growing, you can think about how you’ll use them or what you’ll plant next.
