These indoor garden squares can be used individually or stacked so that homeowners can grow their own fresh produce and plants indoors.

Called the 'Fresh Square,' the product has room for 12 plants and uses [organic fertilizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydroponics-garden) in order for the produce grown to be as healthy as possible and for it to have an enhanced taste. It features overhead lighting that mimics the sun, can be stacked, has living soil and requires very little maintenance as it only needs to be watered every three weeks. The indoor garden square comes with an interactive app that allows owners to find information on the plants and produce they are growing, as well as recipes they can use them in.

With cold weather fast approaching, products such as this indoor garden allow homeowners to continue growing their own foods inside.
