If you want to have a plant, but don't have much of a green thumb, fear not: the Glowpear is an urban garden that waters itself.
If many an office plant has perished under your not-so-careful watch, you might be hesitant to get back into the mulch with another plant-child. Clearly, living things meet their demise when you're in charge. However, this modular planter is a simple way to transform any outdoor space, and it's so easy to use, even someone convinced they are the kiss of death can use it confidently.
For design variation, you're able to connect the planter to other modules. Or, if you're strapped for space, you can leave it as a stand-alone feature. It's compact enough to fit in smaller areas, such as a balcony or patio.
