The Aerogarden Space-Saver 6 is an ideal gift for the herb gardener in your family. You can grow many different types of herbs (including basil, oregano, thyme and many more) conveniently right in your kitchen all year long. You will save time and money by never needing to run to the market to buy fresh herbs. Plus, you know the herbs you grow using the Space-Saver 6 are fresh and organic because you grew them.

Prepara Power Plant Mini

Prepara-Power-Plant-Mini

The Prepara Power Plant Mini is similar to the Aerogarden, as it provides an easy-to-use method of growing fresh herbs indoors. It is a bit smaller than the Aerogarden, and typically can only hold one herb type at a time. So, if you have a family member that uses a lot of basil in their cooking, the Prepara Power Plant Mini might be just the right thing. It features a "set it and forget it" operation - once you have it set up, it does all the work of controlling water and nutrient application. You never have to touch it again. Just snip off the herbs as you need them in your kitchen.
