🌱 Airgarden Grower of the Month Q&A 🌱

1. Tell us a little about yourself!

Life in my household is full of energy, to say the least! I’m a wife and a mum to four amazing boys—aged 19, 17, 13, and 10—so our home is always buzzing. Between raising them, keeping the house running smoothly, and working from home in my family’s interstate real estate business, there’s never a dull moment. Cooking has always been a passion of mine—I’m a former chef and café owner, and food is such a central part of our family life. But for years, I struggled to get truly fresh ingredients.

Setting the scene…..

2. Before you got your Airgarden, how were you getting your fresh produce?

Before Airgarden, I relied on supermarkets and fruit shops to source my produce. 

What was the challenge for you before getting your Airgarden?

3. What challenges were you facing with getting fresh produce?

I’d grab what I needed, but I was constantly disappointed. The freshness just wasn’t there—greens would wilt far too quickly.

4. Was there a particular moment that made you think, ‘I need a better way to do this’?

After a few unsuccessful attempts at growing my own garden (and moving houses more times than I care to count), my mother-in-law suggested I try Airgarden. I was hesitant at first, but after throwing out one too many bags of soggy supermarket spinach, I finally took the leap. And I’m so glad I did.

Why was solving the problem or challenge important & why did it matter?

5. If you hadn’t made a change, what would that have meant for you?

I found myself wasting money on bunches of herbs and veggies that I didn’t get through before they went bad. It was frustrating, especially since I knew that quality ingredients make all the difference when cooking.

How has having an Airgarden helped you to solve the problem?

6. What made you choose the Airgarden as your solution?

My Mother-In-Law recommended it to me!!

7. What’s been the biggest game-changer for you since using the Airgarden?

Having an Airgarden has completely transformed the way I cook and shop. Now, I don’t have to rely on store-bought greens that lose their freshness in days—I just step outside and pick exactly what I need, when I need it. The convenience is unbeatable, and the taste? Nothing compares to freshly picked produce straight from your own garden. Plus, I love that I’m cutting down on food waste and saving money in the process.

8. How does it make you feel knowing you’re growing your own fresh food now?

But beyond the practical benefits, there’s something really rewarding about growing your own food. It’s a feeling of pride, knowing that I’m providing my family with the freshest, healthiest ingredients possible. I love watching my produce thrive, and it brings me so much joy to use ingredients I’ve nurtured myself in the meals I prepare.

Final Thoughts 💭

9. What’s your absolute favourite thing about the Airgarden?

If I had to pick one thing I love most about Airgarden, it’s how effortless it makes growing food. No mess, no complicated upkeep—just fresh, so much tastier, delicious produce right at my fingertips.

10. What would you say to someone who’s thinking about getting an Airgarden but hasn’t made the leap yet?

Anyone who’s thinking about getting one but hasn’t taken the leap yet, my advice is simple: do it! If you’re tired of wasting money on subpar supermarket produce or struggling with traditional gardening, Airgarden is the perfect solution. It’s easy, cost-effective, and incredibly rewarding
