Growing and tending to a plant might be very satisfying, you worries slowly fading away. However, not everyone has access to outdoor gardens to indulge in this therapeutic activity, which leads us to indoor gardening, a modern solution that could be a perfect choice for the most compact of places. These unique and innovative designs will let you grow your plants within the comfort of your home and as aesthetic as they are functional.

Seoul-based designer Dasol Jeong has drawn inspiration from the famous Danish building blocks to create Planterior, an indoor garden system that uses the LEGO principle to attach modular planters to a wall-mountable base platform.

Aiming to bring green greenery to any workplace, be in an office space or a work-from-home setting, the modular structure allows users to create endless configurations for their indoor garden. Each individual planter is fixed onto the frame that keeps the shape and size of a traditional bulletin board in the same way LEGO pieces are stacked one on top of another.

Developed by the graduate of the Department of Industrial Design at Hongik University Juhyuck Han, Vista is a smart garden appliance that mimics the terrain of a mountainous landscape and scales it down to fit in our homes bringing users closer to Nature.

The smart gardening system uses hydroponics to cultivate greenery in a growth tray. The cultivation system in encased within a transparent glass container the size of a large fish tank that can either stand alone or be mounted on an interior wall. Coming with a louver window system, plants grown within the planter are kept ventilated with enough fresh air.

The device is also equipped with GPS technology, enabling it to deliver various pieces of daily information such as the weather, temperature, date, and time.

As its name suggests, the BloomingTables, manufactured by a small business located in San Diego, US founded by Dustin Anthony, is a multi-purpose piece of furniture that integrates a compact planter under a fully functional glass tabletop. The glass panel is removable to enable the user to tend to the plants inside, be it succulents to bring in greenery into the interior or a mini-kitchen garden.

The design comes in four different options – a desk, coffee table, entryway table, and a side table – all featuring a waterproof acrylic trough-shaped base and a flat glass surface on top. Each of these is equipped with a twist-to-open drain valve allowing the user to drain off any excess water.
