# Smart Herb Gardens The 'Click & Grow' Herb Gardens are a Lazy Gardener's Dream Come True By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-03-27 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/click-grow2 References: [digitaltrends](http://www.digitaltrends.com/home/new-click-grow-smart-herb-garden-launches-worldwide-today/) & [clickandgrow](http://www.clickandgrow.com/pages/what-is-click-grow) After a hugely successful crowd-funded display last year, California-based Click & Grow is getting set to launch the second generation of its smart herb garden, with the first units ready to be shipped to consumers. Click & Grow is a smart garden system that automatically provides the correct amount of water and nutrients needed for plants to grow. The core technology is based around a [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmospheric)-inspired nanotech soil material that is specially designed to supply plant roots with optimum amounts of oxygen, water and nutrients. With the help of Click & Grow, all you need to do is simply plant the herbs, fill up the machine's water reservoir and press the 'go' button. In just a matter of weeks, full-grown herbs will be ready to pluck. The second generation of the Click & Grow has a more advanced [hydroponic system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerospring-pinch-hydroponic-system) than the original herb garden. The system also includes a low-power [LED grow light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-gardening-1) to provide optimal growing conditions in the absence of sufficient natural light. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smart Gardening Technology:** Opportunity for businesses to develop and market smart gardening products that utilize innovative technology to simplify the gardening process. - **Hydroponic Systems:** Opportunity for businesses to create and promote hydroponic systems for efficient and easy indoor gardening. - **Sustainable Agriculture:** Opportunity for businesses to introduce sustainable, eco-friendly, and automated agriculture techniques to traditional farming methods. ### Where This Applies - **Home Improvement and Gardening:** Opportunity for businesses to provide smart gardening solutions for consumers looking to simplify their gardening process. - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for businesses to market and sell hydroponically grown herbs as a premium product that is fresher and more environmentally friendly. - **Agriculture and Farming:** Opportunity for businesses to implement smart and sustainable agriculture technology to improve yields and reduce waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automated Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-evergrow.md) - [Indoor Hydroponic Smart Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rise-gardens-indoor-device.md) - [Smart Indoor Hydroponics Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-modular-indoor-hydroponics-garden-grow-vegetables-and-herbs-automatic.md) - [Updated Indoor Gardening Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-gardening-solutions.md) - [Growth-Accelerating Smart Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/letpot-smart-garden.md) - [Four-in-One Herb Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-herbs-indoor-herb-garden.md) - [Dual-Function Automated Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nowrawell-indoor-herb-garden.md) - [Soil-Free Garden Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-system.md) - [AI-Powered Autonomous Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardyn.md)
