In the CES 2026 Innovation Awards, Gardyn Studio 2 is named an Honoree in the Food Tech category, standing out as a compact hydroponic gardening system that employs patented Hybriponics technology, AI-powered plant care, and optimized LED lighting to help anyone grow fresh, nutritious produce at home year-round.
Urban consumers want fresh, healthy produce but lack space, time, and gardening expertise. Some store-bought greens come at a high cost, travel long distances, lose nutrients, and rely on pesticides and plastic—while traditional gardening feels messy and high-maintenance. Gardyn Studio 2 offers an alternative experience and keeps it friendly with Kelby AI to automate watering, lighting, and monitoring. With no-clean sealed columns, natural light cycles, and space for 16 plants, this smart system delivers nutrient-rich food using 95% less water than traditional agriculture.
