    This was a welcome addition to my work-from-home set up. I am currently growing the moss rose pods (purchased separately from Click&Grow.) They have been blooming for a couple weeks and are still going strong. Great for an area that does not get direct sunlight.

    I am an employee at Best Buy and had the opportunity to use this garden for over a month. I am a complete novice when it comes to gardening, but with this Click & Grow I was able to achieve great results with very little effort. The setup was a breeze, as after unpacking and attaching the light, my 5yr old son was able to do the rest by himself. Over the course of 3 weeks this garden produced a significant amount of Basil and the only effort required of myself was to refill the water tank once. Overall, this was super easy and a lot of fun for my kids. The only consideration I would make others aware of is that the light is rather bright. I think this is to be expected of all indoor gardens, but something to be aware of when planning for where you will put this garden in your house. Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for some fresh herbs without any effort. My kids are already looking forward to what we will plant next!

    Pretty cool concept to have a garden that is pretty much on autopilot. There’s an app to use with it that tracks your plants but it doesn’t sync to you garden, you have to enter the plant info you plant in your click grow. The light and water features are self regulated which makes it easy. There are tons of seeds to pick from - all for a price of course.

    Up and running in 10 minutes. Basil about 3 inches tall after a couple of weeks. It would be better if the light bar were an inch longer - last plant a little smaller and tilting in toward light. Overall a fine idea for people who don't have much available sunlight.

    It works well and I grew a lot of basil this winter. However the replacements are extravagantly expensive and hard to find.

    Great concept. It was the perfect Christmas gift. The plants grow steadly. The light bar could have been an inchborvtwo longer. The plant at the free end of the light bar is not as tall as the others.

    I have never been one to have much luck growing plants. But this device delivers on its promise. Easy installation and setup. Once you pick your seed just sit back and watching it grow! I've been using it for awhile now and trying my own seeds not specific to the ordering guide (bonsai tree) and so far so good. The only drawbacks I have are that i wish the uv light wand extended just a bit farther and that i continue to have mold grow in the top of the soil.

    Easy to grow. Easy instructions. I bought pods off the click and grow website because we wanted different plants than the default, but it's been pretty hands off.

    Very good product. Works as intended. Only suggestion I have is to extend light bar a bit farther to reach the furthest plant. That one seems to grow the slowest I would assume due to the light being the farthest away.

    This little planter is great - got for my wife - came with some basil - plugged it in, planted, turned on the light, and basil grew in days - only thing is the LED light is pretty bright, so be prepared where you place it! We have it in our kitchen so it worked well - we use that as a "night light" now instead of our overhead stove light

    i like it, however i have noticed that the pod farthest from the base of the light doesn’t grow as fast at the other two.

    I have as yet not used it for growing because I have herbs growing in my garden! I look forward to its use in the long winter in northern Minnesota.
