Curious About the Garden You Just Saw?
You’re not alone. Many families pause to admire the beautiful indoor garden growing in the community—and wonder what it is, how it works, and how their loved one is involved.
This is the Eldergrow Indoor Compact Garden—a safe, soothing way to bring nature into everyday life.
Each plant starts in a clean, pre-seeded pod—already loaded with nutrients and ready to grow. Common favorites include herbs like basil, lavender, and lemon balm, chosen for their calming scents and sensory benefits.
🌱 No Soil, No Mess—Just Growth
💧 Low Maintenance, Big Impact
The garden waters itself with a built-in reservoir, and the gentle LED lights give the plants just the right amount of light—day or night, all year long. It’s designed to thrive indoors, with little upkeep needed from staff or residents.
Over the weeks, the pods sprout, grow tall, and become lush and fragrant. Residents can watch them grow, help care for them, harvest herbs, or simply enjoy their presence. For many, it brings back happy memories of gardening or time spent in nature.
🌿 A Living Connection
🪴 Not Just Beautiful—It’s Therapeutic
The garden supports well-being in a simple but powerful way—by stimulating the senses, sparking conversation, and offering quiet, peaceful moments of connection.
