Self-Watering Outdoor Gardens

The GROW DUO Equips Consumers with a Fecund Garden in 10 Minutes

— October 5, 2017 — Tech
Everybody enjoys a garden full of lush greenery, but not everyone has the green thumb to make that outdoor paradise a reality; fortunately, the GROW DUO lets consumers grow a garden full of produce without having to know anything about the subtleties of raising flora. The smart, self-tending gardening apparatus grows 100 percent organic produce, and it communicates its plants' progress through an app so that consumers can follow along.

The GROW DUO's core module is a self-watering planter equipped with sensors and internet connectivity. That connectivity puts it in touch with GROW's free app for iOS and Android, and it allows the planter to communicate information about the produce growing in it. The app also includes educational information to teach consumers about the plants they're growing, making the DUO a natural hub of activity for parents and their kids.

GROW DUO planters can foster an assortment of organic fruiting plants and root vegetables like tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, peppers, carrots, beets, and more. All the plants offered come in self-contained Plant Kits that are simple to set up and loaded with all the necessary nutrients to keep the seeds strong and healthy.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Gardening - The integration of sensors and connectivity in self-watering planters presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home gardening industry, as it allows for remote monitoring and data-driven plant management.
2. Indoor Farming - GROW DUO's compact and self-contained design allows consumers to easily cultivate organic produce without requiring an outdoor garden, which highlights the potential for indoor farming as a disruptive innovation opportunity.
3. Educational Apps - GROW DUO's app provides consumers with educational resources to learn about the plants they are growing, showcasing the potential for educational apps to enhance the consumer experience in the gardening industry.
Industry Implications
1. Smart Home Gardening - The incorporation of smart technology in gardening products presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the home gardening industry.
2. Indoor Farming - The compact and self-contained nature of GROW DUO's planter presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the indoor farming industry, promoting sustainable agriculture practices.
3. Edtech - The educational resources offered by GROW DUO's app highlight an opportunity for edtech companies to innovate and disrupt traditional methods of education in the gardening industry.
