We love the UrbiPod because it takes all of the guesswork out of growing & saves money (as well as food miles & packaging waste) whilst avoiding the need to accept less than fresh supermarket herbs.
This Australian designed & made smart garden solution allows you the possibility to harvest nutritious food straight from your garden to your family's plates, without even leaving the kitchen. You can easily grow fresh herbs, veggies, microgreens, flowers & fruits all year-round.
With its clever irrigation & nutrient application system, the UrbiPod delivers the right amount of natural plant food for healthy & sustained plant growth. Whilst the automated energy-efficient LED system replicates sunlight & provides the ideal environment that can deliver plant growth up to 5 times faster than outdoors.

Eco Packaging:
Urbotanica put every effort into environmentally considerate packaging, a couple of examples: This kit comes packed in a cardboard box which is unbleached and without unnecessary stuffing's, and the 4 seed collections are bound with a recycled paper wrap label. Whilst making the UrbiPods from Recyclable PE/PET blend is currently the best manufacturing option available for Aussie production at this time, the future plan when available domestically is to make the unit out of a bamboo/cornstarch mix. Like Eden Tree Eco, Urbotanica exist to reduce waste, & therefore are always working on improvement where possible.
The big picture issue this product addresses:
To support people to grow their own fresh herbs. 40% of fresh produce ends up in landfill, and 38% of 10Mil Australian households spend between $5-10 on fresh herbs a week (Approx. 2-4 plastic clamshell containers) That is millions of plastic containers every week, the Urbipod can help divert from landfills and oceans.
Customer care:
In addition to the support you will always get from us at Eden Tree Eco, the team at Urbotanica have earned a great reputation for their excellent after sales service & 'growing' advice. Being the only indoor smart garden 100% manufactured in Australia truly earns them the title of Australia's no 1 home smart garden product. For both product and service.
Shipping:
Please note that the Urbipod is dispatched directly from our supplier, in order to reduce carbon emissions. As such, we cannot ship this product with our plastic free guarantee. Shipping is a flat rate of $25, Australia wide.
