🌱 3 Simple Questions to Find the Perfect Tower Garden for You!
Tower Garden FLEX? Tower Garden HOME? Or maybe a Family Garden? Don’t worry—you’ll know exactly which one is your match after answering three easy questions.
Let’s get one thing straight first: There’s no such thing as the best Tower Garden overall. Why? Because the actual tower part is identical across all models. The real question is:
✨ Which Tower Garden is best for YOU and your growing needs? ✨
To figure that out, answer these three key questions:
1️⃣ Will you grow indoors, outdoors, or both?
2️⃣ How much produce do you and your family eat each week?
3️⃣ What are your typical summer highs (if you plan to grow outside)?
Keep reading to find out which Tower Garden is your perfect match based on your answers!
1️⃣ Indoor, Outdoor, or Both?
🪴 Want to grow indoors only?
The Tower Garden HOME with LED Grow Lights is your best bet! Its smaller footprint (2 feet in diameter vs. 2.5 feet for the FLEX) makes it easier to tuck into those cozy corners. Perfect for indoor gardeners!
Keep in mind: while you can add an extension to the HOME, it’s not always recommended. The smaller reservoir isn’t ideal for a super-tall tower—trust me, you don’t want it toppling over!
🌞 Growing outdoors only or a mix of both?
Go with the Tower Garden FLEX. It’s built for versatility. You can grow outside during the warm months and move it indoors with LED lights during colder seasons. Plus, its larger 20-gallon reservoir means fewer refills.
Thinking about adding an extension? Here’s the scoop:
- Regular Extension Kit: +8 plant spaces
- Baby Greens Kit: +32 baby greens spaces (great for salad lovers!)
- Combo Kit: +4 regular plant spaces +16 baby greens spaces
2️⃣ How Much Produce Does Your Family Eat Weekly?
If you spend $20 or more a week on leafy greens, herbs, and veggies, a Tower Garden FLEX or HOME will quickly pay for itself. Which one depends on your answer to Question #3 below.
But if your weekly produce budget is $45 or more, consider going all-in with a Family Garden! This setup includes three Tower Garden FLEX units, each with a regular extension, giving you 84 plant spaces to work with. Some families dedicate one tower to tomatoes and the other two to leafy greens, herbs, and other veggies. You’ll never run out of fresh produce again!
3️⃣ What’s the Summer Weather Like in Your Area?
☀️ Mild Summers (Highs in the mid-80s or lower)
A Tower Garden HOME works great! Grow indoors during the winter with lights, and enjoy fresh produce all year.
🔥 Hot Summers (85°F and up)
Go for the Tower Garden FLEX. Its larger reservoir keeps your plants happy and hydrated longer in the heat.
🌡️ Scorching Summers (110°F and up)
Yikes, it’s hot! Stick with indoor growing using the Tower Garden HOME or FLEX with LED Grow Lights to avoid heat stress on your plants.
