“Spring has sprung” denotes the time of year when new growth occurs in the plant world. With Gardyn, every day is the first day of spring, which also means that every day can be peak fall harvest.

In the above video, Lindsay Springer, Ph.D., Gardyn’s Director of Plants, Nutrition, and Digital Agriculture, explains how combining hydroponics, LED grow lights, sensors, and AI allows anyone to grow over 100 tasty and nutritious varieties of produce. Depending upon the model, one of their indoor farm pods can feed a family of 4 to 6 people year-round.

As Springer alludes to, Gardyn is like having a 24-hour-a-day assistant watching over one’s garden from seedling to harvest. Gardyn watches over the plants with its camera vision. Its sensors track indoor temperature, humidity, water usage, and growth rates. It analyzes the data to optimize and maximize plant health and growth.

For the human, Gardyn’s AI agent, Kelby, offers advice on things, such as:

• Watering and adding plant food
• Tank cleaning
• Examining plants’ roots
• Harvesting
• Device troubleshooting
• Light schedule adjustment

The harvest is naturally organic. That might be one reason why Gardyn landed on Time’s list of America’s Top Greentech Companies of 2025. It is the freshness from picking at just the right time that makes it special. This freshness is evidenced in the above video by the sweet and hot jalapeno pepper that brought tears to the eyes of this reporter.
