🛠️ Set Up Your Garden in a Few Simple Steps

🌿 1. Assemble Your Garden
Start by building your garden using the components included in your box. You’ll notice several trays—each one has five slots for planting.
💧 2. Fill the Water Reservoir
Beneath the trays, you’ll find a reservoir for water. If the garden’s light is flashing, that means the water level is low.
Fill the reservoir up to the “MAX” indicator line. The flashing light will turn off once the garden has enough water.
🌱 3. Plant Your Pods
Inside your pod box, you’ll find nine pre-seeded pods containing soil and nutrients.
To plant, pop each pod into an empty slot in the tray. Once your row is full, snap on the plastic dome cover to help your plants sprout. Keep the cover on until you see little green shoots.
💡 4. Adjust the Light Timer
Your grow lights operate on a timer that starts when you plug in the garden.
To change when the lights turn on and off, just unplug and replug the garden at your preferred time.
🪴 5. Use the Travel Tray
Your kit includes a travel tray—a handy way to bring plants to residents who can’t come to the garden.
💡 Tip: Position your garden where residents can easily gather and engage.
