  • Dimensions and Capacity:

    • Footprint: ~5 sq. ft. (30" x 30" base with a 20-gallon reservoir).

    • Height: 62" with growing extension.

    • Plant Capacity: 28 full-size ports for growing leafy greens (lettuce, kale), herbs (basil, cilantro), vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers), fruits (strawberries), and edible flowers. Not suitable for root crops or woody-stemmed plants.

  • Ease of Use:

    • Assembly: ~30 minutes, no tools needed.

    • Maintenance: Minimal—automated pump and timer deliver water/nutrients every ~15 minutes. Check water levels and clean pump filter periodically. No gardening experience required.

  • Educational Impact: Designed to integrate with the Green Bronx Machine Classroom Curriculum (sold separately), aligning with STEM/STEAM standards to teach science, math, and language arts through hands-on gardening. Ideal for schools to boost attendance (from 40% to 93% in some cases) and academic performance (e.g., 45% improvement in state science exam pass rates).

  • Standard Extension Kit: Adds 8 planting ports (total 28) and increases height for larger plants.

  • Support Cage: Stabilizes taller/vining plants (e.g., tomatoes, cucumbers) against wind or weight.

  • Full-Spectrum LED Grow Lights: Enables year-round indoor growing, especially for leafy greens and herbs (1 amp, 125 watts, 120 VAC/60 Hz).

  • Seedling Starter Supplies: Germination tray, rockwool cubes, vermiculite, net pots, and a variety of starter seeds (gourmet lettuce, tomatoes, herbs, greens, vegetables). Additional rockwool, net pots, and seed packets included free.

  • pH Test Kit: Includes pH adjusters (up/down) for water quality. Not available in PR, HI, or AK due to shipping restrictions.

  • Two Years’ Worth of Seeds and Nutrients: Ensures long-term classroom or home use (specific to school-focused bundles).

Sustainability and Materials:

  • Made from high-quality, USDA-approved, UV-stabilized, food-grade plastic for durability in various climates.

  • Recycles 100% of nutrients and water in a closed system, reducing environmental impact.

  • Not organic due to soilless method and trace EDTA in the Mineral Blend.

Additional Notes:

  • Price: ~$1,385 USD (school-focused bundle with LED lights, two years of seeds/nutrients, and accessories). Contact us.towergarden.com or merch.greenbronxmachine.org for exact pricing. Shipping included in the U.S., but special handling is required for AK, HI, and PR, with additional fees for remote areas (e.g., Nunavut, Yukon).

    • 90-day return policy with a $150 return fee.

  • Considerations:

    • Requires electricity for pump and lights, non-chlorinated water, and a temperature range of 65–85°F. Accessories like water heaters or shade cloths help in extreme climates.

    • Ideal for classrooms, homes, or community centers, with a focus on educational integration.

  • Shipping: Orders ship within 3–10 days, depending on location.
