How to get the most out of your Smart Garden
What do you love most about indoor gardening? Is it the fact you can grow food easily? Is it the fresh taste of homegrown produce that appeals to you? Perhaps it’s the peace of mind knowing your food contains no harmful substances?
Whatever your inspiration may be, we want you to enjoy the best indoor gardening experience possible. Growing food takes a bit of patience but the outcome is incredibly worth it - fresher, tastier, healthier produce.
With that in mind, we’ve put together some quick tips to help you get the most out of your indoor garden today.
Choosing a Smart Garden
Whether you already have a Smart Garden or are planning on upgrading / adding to your collection, we’ve got your needs covered.

Where to place your garden
- We recommend somewhere easily accessible - kitchen counters are ideal, especially if growing ingredients for your meals.
- Own more than one Smart Garden? Keep at least one on your kitchen counter. Put the most harvest-ready plants in this garden. This means they’ll be readily available when you need to cook and serve dishes. Meanwhile, start growing new plants in your other garden. This way you’ll always have something growing.
Choosing plants
- Select herbs that complement your favourite meals.
- Be adventurous - Click & Grow’s collection contains over 55 plants that can be used for teas, salads, seasoning, and spicing up recipes.
- When shopping for plant pods, opt for larger packs (mixes or 9-packs) - this way you’ll always have plants ready to grow and you’ll save on shipping fees.
- Consider our customisable subscription to save time and money.
Growing plants
- Create a harvesting cycle. Start growing new plants after you’ve harvested / replanted your existing ones. This way you'll always have something growing.
- Keep a diary to remember when it’s time to harvest. Invite guests over and plan some exciting recipes for harvesting time.
- Keep in mind that plants such as mini-tomatoes, wild strawberries and all varieties of chili peppers need to be thinned and pollinated.
- Herbs & small peppers that you’ve grown can be dried and stored for up to a year. Herbs such as dill and parsley can also be chopped and frozen.
- If you need space for new plants in your indoor garden, it’s possible to transplant your existing ones.
