I tried traditional gardening, but I didn't enjoy the constant weeding or the amount of time it required. For a long time, I assumed that was simply part of growing food at home.
Then I discovered Tower Garden. Without garden beds to tend or weeds to pull, I spend less time on garden maintenance and more time enjoying life.
For me, that has made growing my own food much more manageable and enjoyable.
I can harvest just what I need, when I need it, while the rest keeps growing instead of going to waste in the refrigerator.
I can buy fewer of the greens I use most and rely more on what I grow at home.
I'm in control of the growing process from beginning to end — and that gives me real peace of mind.
Tower Garden can grow far more than what you'll see in my towers. Over the years, I've experimented with a variety of crops, but today I focus on growing the foods I use most often.
Because I eat a large salad almost every day and follow a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle, I grow a mix of tender leafy lettuces for my salads, as well as heartier greens like kale, tatsoi, pac choi, collards, and chard that I enjoy both raw in salads and cooked in soups, stir-fries, grain bowls, and other everyday meals.
As you think about your own Tower Garden, start with the foods you already enjoy eating. The more often you use them in your kitchen, the more rewarding your Tower Garden will be.
For me, success isn't about growing the greatest variety of crops. It's about growing the foods I reach for again and again. That's what keeps my Tower Garden manageable, enjoyable, and genuinely useful in my everyday life.

Both Tower Garden models grow the same fresh, nutrient-dense food. The difference isn't what they grow—it's how and where you want to grow.
Ideal for growers who want maximum flexibility, whether that means growing indoors with lights, moving outdoors seasonally, or expanding over time.


Ideal for growers who want a dedicated indoor garden that blends beautifully into everyday living spaces and provides fresh harvests year-round.

In 2021, a health crisis completely changed the direction of my life. I'm Karen Schriefer, and that experience led me to rethink the way I eat, the way I care for myself, and ultimately the way I continue to live my life today.
After that abrupt wake-up call, I began searching for answers. That search led me to a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle, where I discovered how powerful nutrition can be in helping the body heal itself. As I embraced that lifestyle, growing more of my own food made healthy eating more manageable and sustainable. At the same time, I stopped drinking alcohol and committed to building other healthier habits that continue to shape my life today.
Implementing those changes transformed my health. I reversed high blood pressure and liver disease, lost 85 pounds, regained my energy, and discovered a lifestyle I genuinely enjoy.
But the journey didn't end there. I'm still growing, learning, and investing in my health every day—and I hope my story encourages others to believe that meaningful change is possible, one day and one step at a time.

Growing fresh food is just the beginning. The real joy comes from turning those harvests into simple, healthy meals—from big salads and hearty soups to grain bowls, stir-fries, and more.
