5 fresh and spring-like DIY gifts from the Gardyn

Published Apr 15, 2021

The Gardyn gives a lot more than fresh food and fragrant herbs. In fact, the sky’s the limit when it comes to what you can produce from your Gardyn, 

We’re all about bonds and finding ways to connect with the people you love. From simple spa night perks to gifts from the heart, there’s so much more to explore with Gardyn.

Flowers

Forget store bought for special occasions and tap into your own floral shop using a variety of beautiful blooms from your Gardyn.

PRO TIP: Did you know you can easily pluck a yCube of flowers from the Gardyn and place in a vase of water? Yep! They will grow for weeks…

White Petunias make for a carefree floral arrangement.

Herbs

Wondering how you can maximize your herb game beyond the occasional Herbes de Provence and spring of rosemary in a savory dish?

We absolutely love Georgia Pellegrini, food explorer and host of “Modern Pioneering”.  Her passion for creating simple farm to table meals and enthusiasm for connecting with nature is right up our alley. Armed with an outlook that each individual defines their version of “stepping off the grid”, Georgia inspires us to find more ways to build bonds and share valuable experiences with the people we love.
