Gardening can be fun, inspiring, and even stress-relieving, but it's typically put on hold when temperatures start to drop. Luckily, indoor gardening technology makes it possible to enjoy this mindfulness-promoting activity year-round.
Indoor gardening supplies also make unique, creative gifts — they're a nice way to add a pop of color to your home! Browse our picks for indoor gardens, seed packs, and other plant-themed goodies to give the gift of a green thumb this year.
The AeroGarden Harvest ($100, originally $150) countertop garden comes with all the tools you need to grow up to six plants of your choice, no matter the time of year.
