Indoor smart gardens combine a grow light, a timer and a water reservoir so herbs grow on the counter.

| Pick | Notes | Source |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Click and Grow | Soil pods, minimal setup | [Click and Grow](https://www.clickandgrow.com/) |
| Hydroponic units | Faster growth, more upkeep | [Click and Grow](https://www.clickandgrow.com/) and others |

AeroGarden's parent company announced it was winding down the brand at the start of 2025, so check warranty and pod supply before buying one.

## Tips

- Start with basil, parsley and mint.
- Clean the reservoir between plantings.
