Life, Beauty, and Space with Interior Designer Ashley Masella
Google “interior design tips,” and you’ll find endless articles on which color palettes work for which room and what style of decorating is in.

Warm Bean Salad with Gardyn Greens and Pine Nut Pesto
This dish draws on Italian roots with warm white beans coupled with a peppy pesto. Drizzled over an abundance of greens, it’s a soothing salad perfect for the colder months. You’ll want a salad bowl big enough for a large lunch or a side dish (it works great as either).
How Gardyn Light Gives a Mental Health Boost in Winter
As the days grow shorter, we pine for the sun, causing many to experience Seasonal Affective Disorder. Also known as SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder is a mood disorder where people experience depressive symptoms at the same time every year, usually in the dark days of winter. Bringing uplifting light and fresh plant life into your home is a proven way to bring back energy and lift your spirits.
Healthy Habits, the Secret to a Happy Life
What is it that makes us happy? In the last several years, there has been a staggering amount of research on happiness, and what we’ve found out is it all comes down to your habits.
Taking Time to Reflect and Reconnect with Yourself
Oftentimes when we think of self-reflection, we think of the checking off of tasks and goal-setting, but beneath is the answer to a bigger question, “Is your life what you want it to be right now?” Self-reflection can be scary, but it can also be the most important thing you do. When we stop to self-reflect and support our bodies with wholesome, nutritious food and time outside, we can shape our lives in a happy, healthy way.
Finding Happiness in Hydroponics with Gardyner Sophie Banton
If you asked Sophie Banton about gardening three years ago, she would have told you she’d never planted a single seed. Three years later her house is brimming with colorful fruits, vegetables, and flowers, and there’s no going back. When the pandemic hit, Sophie and her daughter Ari found themselves spending a lot more time indoors. So she sat down to think about what could brighten their space. Her first thought- plants. And not just houseplants, fruits and vegetables you can eat.
A Look Back at 2021
A Lot Happened in 2021. Nasa landed a rover on Mars (again!), the climate change conference took place in Glasgow, and pictures of a chilly Bernie Sanders with giant mittens went viral. A lot happened at Gardyn too. We started the year with one Gardyn, a small team, and big dreams for the year ahead. Our community expanded to 11,200 Gardyners with memberships, sharing recipes, stories, plants they’ve grown, tales of their pets, children, and meals together. Small acts of care added beauty and intentionality throughout the day and changed the way we thought about time.
From Plant to Plate, an Education in Food
One of Gardyn’s G3 Initiative recipients, Ocean View High School is teaching students how to cook for themselves by introducing new plants, talking about nutrition, and encouraging critical thinking about our food system. With three Gardyns full of flavorful produce and packed with nutrients, it’s a whole new way of eating, and one a lot more delicious than the bland diet many are used to.

Make your guests feel at home with these gourmet (yet unpretentious) bites. Pre-made puff pastry takes out the work while the creamy combination of cheeses, rich tomato and herbs make for a sumptuous treat. Have fun mixing your own combination of Gardyn herbs and leave a sprig (or two) on the plate for a festive touch!
