WELCOME TO THE RISE FAMILY!
Rise Gardens is committed to providing the right indoor garden for your space and gardening ambitions. Our modular and versatile
system provides a wide range of configurations. You can choose to build your garden (or later grow your garden) as a one-level, two-level,
or three-level garden by combining the base garden with add-on modules.
Your bottom level, which is taller than each additional level, is best for growing large plants like Tomatoes and Kale. Your additional levels
are closer to the lights and are best for Herbs and Greens.
Warning: Never add a fourth level to your Garden as it will become unstable and risk tipping.
