Space-Saving Planters

Indoor gardens take a more space-conscious approach for smaller homes

Implications - With a higher rate of consumers living in city buildings that don’t usually allow for outdoor gardens, those who are looking for a way to integrate gardening into their home are turning to space-conscious planter kits. Giving consumers a chance to grow their own herbs and foliage even without access to a yard, stackable and mountable solutions make indoor gardening a possibility for smaller homes. The shift towards smaller spaces creates opportunity for brands to provide solutions for city dwellers looking for ways to stay in touch with nature.
Workshop Question - Where can you integrate more convenience for consumers looking to balance quality of life with productivity?
