It’s like a Nespresso machine for plants we are told. Insert a plant pod, fill water, plug it in and watch it bloom into a plant that you can harvest from. Not that instantly, but, well, almost there. Try basil, we are told.  Too easy, we said. Throw a few seeds in a pot and basil grows wild anyway. Give us tomatoes—that one is a toughie. Our kit arrived in a minimalist design box. It claims to be an innovative indoor garden for growing herbs and flowers all year round—no matter where you live. It cares for itself so you don’t really need a green thumb.
