# Effortless Gardening Kits GardenIn's Zero-Maintenance System Comes Out of the Box Pre-Assembled By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-04-10 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardenin References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mygardenin-uk/gardenin-self-sustaining-indoor-gardens/description) & [gardenin.co](http://www.gardenin.co/) If you have a knack for killing every kind of plant life you come in contact with, GardenIn is a [home gardening kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balconyfarm-pot) that will make it seem as though you have a green thumb. The indoor kit is designed to be fully self-sustaining, so that a user never actually has to water the herbs and spices they grow. Every so often, the water in GardenIn's system does need to be changed, but a visible alert flashes to make it apparent. The easy-to-use kit comes pre-assembled out of the box, with seeds pre-planted—it just needs some exposure to sunlight and some fresh water to get growing. Appealing to homeowners without balconies or other outdoor areas, the [indoor planter is compact](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balconyfarm-planter) and would barely take up any space on a kitchen counter. Launched as a project on [Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mygardenin-uk/gardenin-self-sustaining-indoor-gardens/description), a small group of just 48 contributors pledged over £7,000 to help bring this gardening product to the masses. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Indoor Gardening:** There is an opportunity to develop more self-sustaining, easy-to-use indoor gardening kits that require minimal maintenance and can fit in small spaces - **Smart Planters:** Developing planters that use smart technology to self-sustain and notify users when maintenance is needed is a growing trend that can revolutionize the gardening industry - **Pre-assembled Kits:** Providing pre-assembled gardening kits that can be used straight out of the box is a rising trend, particularly for those who lack the time or knowledge for traditional gardening methods ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Gardening:** Companies in the home gardening industry can capitalize on the trend of providing self-sustaining indoor gardening kits that appeal to those with limited space and time - **Smart Home:** The smart home industry can expand into the realm of gardening by developing planters with built-in smart technology that can be accessed and monitored through a user's smart device - **E-commerce:** E-commerce businesses that specialize in home and garden products can expand their offerings to include easy-to-use, pre-assembled gardening kits that can be shipped directly to customers' homes ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automated Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-evergrow.md) - [Modular Indoor Gardening Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gud-plant-box.md) - [Four-in-One Herb Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-herbs-indoor-herb-garden.md) - [Soil-Free Garden Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-system.md) - [Mini Mess-Free Garden Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydroponics-garden.md) - [Gardening Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verda-garden.md) - [Self-Sustaining Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-hydroponic-indoor-garden.md) - [Indoor Herb Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auk-mini.md) - [Container-Based Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottle-farm-mini.md)
