How Tower Garden Works
A simple, beginner-friendly way to grow fresh, nutrient-dense food at home — even if you’ve never gardened before.
Your new Tower Garden arrives with everything needed to start growing. Follow the step-by-step Startup Guide to set it up in about 30 minutes. Then, learn the basics of this aeroponic system and how it delivers fresh greens with minimal effort!
Starting Seedlings in Rockwool
Your Seedling Starter Kit includes everything to begin growing greens and vegetables.
Tower Garden Mineral Blend
Fill the reservoir with water and add the included mineral blend, formulated for aeroponic growing. This nutrient solution supports healthy plants from root to leaf.
Vertical Hydroponics
In vertical hydroponic gardening, a low-wattage pump pushes the solution to the top via a central pipe. Water drips over plant roots at each port, cycled by a timer for efficient home growing. This steady cycle is what makes harvesting fresh greens at home so reliable.
Start Harvesting in a Few Short Weeks
Check water and pH occasionally, then enjoy harvesting leafy greens at home in weeks. Pick and savor—no rinsing needed!
What to Grow with Tower Garden
Grow a variety of greens, herbs, vegetables, and fruits for fresh meals:
Greens: Lettuce, kale, spinach, arugula, chard for nutrient-dense salads.
Herbs: Basil, parsley, cilantro, mint, dill to enhance your dishes.
Vegetables: Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, zucchini for fresh meals.
Fruits: Strawberries and watermelon for sweet, homegrown treats.
Plan Ahead for Success
Set up your tower with these tips:
Choosing a Location That Works for Your Space: Pick a level spot with 6–8 hours of sunlight, near water and power for Tower Garden FLEX. For indoor growing, ensure space for grow lights with Tower Garden HOME.
Deciding on Indoor, Outdoor, or Both: Use FLEX if you want the flexibility to grow both indoors and outdoors, or HOME for dedicated indoor growing of greens and herbs.
Choosing Easy, Beginner-Friendly Plants: Select favorites like lettuce, kale, and herbs—ideal for beginners.
Where Different Plants Tend to Grow Best: Place small plants (lettuce, herbs, strawberries) at the top, medium plants (peppers, kale, beans) in the middle, and up to four large plants (tomatoes, cucumbers) at the bottom with a support cage.
