Rediscover Your Green Thumb: The Joy of Gardening & Growing Your Own Food

Gardening is often heralded as a source of joy and tranquility, but for many retirees, it can also be a revitalising passion. At Airgarden, we’ve seen firsthand how gardening can transform lives, offering a sense of purpose and a splash of green thumb magic to daily routines. Today, we’re excited to share heartwarming stories from retirees who have rekindled their love for gardening with the help of Airgarden’s innovative aeroponic system.

Meet Jubbly: The Garden Whisperer

Jubbly, is full of life & energy.  However with with painful and difficult arthritis Jubbly at 67-years old didn't think regular gardening & growing would be an option again. With limited space and mobility, traditional gardening seemed out of reach. That’s when she discovered Airgarden. “It was love at first sight,” Jubbly says with a twinkle in her eye. “I’ve got my own thriving edible garden right on my balcony. Basil, mint, and even Thai basil—all thriving without me having to bend or kneel!”

Meet Karen - Dual Airgardener Extraordinaire

Karen loved the ease of growing with the Airgarden so much she bought a 2nd one!!!

Growing plants indoors and outside has always been a part of my adult life, I love to cook and having fresh herbs growing is a must for me, the Airgarden makes this so incredibly simple, it is a much cleaner way to garden, no soil to tote, those bags get very heavy when we become older, filling a chamber with water is a breeze, then adding the nutrients and plants, turning the pump on, talk about easy and the results are amazing.
