With four built-in sensors, the Edyn Garden is capable of measure humidity, light, temperature and soil conditions to give green thumbs a digital advantage over Mother Nature herself. Designed by Jason Aramburu alongside industrial designer Yves Behar, the Edyn Garden is funded by the Bill And Melinda Gates Foundation. It requires a WiFi connection to determine the area in order to give a more accurate assessment. Once a plant type is chosen, it alerts the user when the [soil needs watering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tendril-1), requires more fertilizer and more. The Edyn Garden is currently available for pre-order. It is priced at a reasonable $99. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smart Gardening:** The Edyn Garden device represents the trend of smart gardening by using sensors and data analysis to optimize plant growth. - **Precision Agriculture:** The soil-analyzing capabilities of the Edyn Garden contribute to the trend of precision agriculture, allowing farmers and gardeners to make data-driven decisions for optimal crop production. - **Connected Home and Iot:** The integration of the Edyn Garden with WiFi and its ability to provide real-time updates aligns with the trend of connected home and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. ### Where This Applies - **Agriculture:** The Edyn Garden device has the potential to disrupt the agriculture industry by enabling more efficient crop production through data-driven soil analysis. - **Home and Garden:** The Edyn Garden device offers innovative solutions for home and garden enthusiasts, providing real-time information on plant conditions and optimizing gardening processes. - **Smart Technology:** The Edyn Garden device falls within the smart technology industry, offering a smart gardening solution that enhances plant growth through data analysis and automation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Soil Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-soil-monitor.md) - [AI-Powered Plant Care Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardyn-studio-2.md) - [Indoor Hydroponic Smart Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rise-gardens-indoor-device.md) - [Indoor Greenery Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-plant-sensor.md) - [Automated Pro-Grade Plant Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oko-sensor.md) - [Automated Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-evergrow.md) - [Soil-Free Garden Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-system.md) - [AI-Driven Plant Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flora-pod.md) - [Comprehensive Gardening Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardenuity.md)
