Why Indoor Gardening
Things you need to know covers all of the little things that other stores overlook -- and we put importance to.
From putting healthful fresh food on the table, to decorating your home with beautiful foliage and flowers, to the benefits of healthy exercise, gardening has long been one of mans favorite activities for very good reasons.
Reasons for Indoor Gardening
Today, there are new ways to enjoy gardening by moving the garden from the carefully tilled plot in the yard to the indoor environment. New lighting technologies, home hydroponics equipment and more have extended gardening to our indoor spaces, creating new opportunities for gardeners and expanding the gardening experience. Some of the ways indoor gardening can add new benefits to the modern lifestyle include:
» Year Round
Gardening - Bringing the garden indoors lets you
grow everything from vegetables and herbs to foliage plants and
flowers all year. By creating your own seasons, you can have the
benefits of healthful food and beautiful plants year round, whatever
the weather is outdoors.
» Organic Vegetables & Herbs
- By growing your own vegetables and herbs indoors, you can have
fresh, chemical-free produce and tasty herbs year round to assure you
and your family of the freshest, most healthful food available
anywhere.
» Pest-Free, Weed-Free Gardening
- By gardening indoors, it is easy to keep noxious pests and weeds out
of your garden. You control the environment and keep everything from
rabbits and deer to plant-destroying insect pests away from your
garden without the use of toxic pesticides and herbicides.
» Beautiful Interior Decorating
- Gardening indoors can create gorgeous plant walls, built-in accent
gardens, and an endless supply of attractive plants and flowers for
any home or commercial building. From living rooms to lobbies and work
areas, indoor gardens are an attractive and calming addition to any
interior.
» Enjoyment -
Few human activities are as relaxing and psychologically beneficial as
gardening. Creating a beautiful, productive garden can give you many
hours of enjoyable, rewarding activity. It's no wonder that gardening
is one of the most popular hobbies. Now, you can bring it indoors and
share it with everyone.
» Creative Use of Wasted Space
- Indoor hydroponic gardening can convert an unused or under-utilized
space to productivity. From spare rooms and basements to garages and
even closets, using the spare space in your home or commercial
building for interior gardening just makes good sense. Growing in
special Dark Rooms can even add more control over the indoor gardening
environment and separate it from living areas.
» Plants Create Oxygen
- Plants naturally convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, helping to turn
stale air into healthy oxygenated air. The advantages of this in our
energy-saving sealed interior environments should not be ignored.
» Profitability
- While most people garden for their own pleasure and lifestyle
enhancement, others garden indoors for profit. Interior gardening can
produce high-quality organic produce and herbs that find a ready
market, especially out of season. From selling rare fresh herbs to
restaurants to propagating plants for sales to other gardeners, indoor
gardening can be an income-producing proposition.
