“We know that it's not enough to allow our customers just to garden indoors. It has to be done in an attractive environment that adds beauty and value to their living spaces.”
In this week's Throwback Thursday segment, we hear from Dave Stevens, founder of IG Works — makers of the iHarvest Indoor Garden, an attractive hydroponic system that lets you grow up to 30 large plants (cucumbers, tomatoes, microgreens, and more) in a small living space.
Since the original episode, the iHarvest has become a pandemic-era hit — people looking for sustainable, at-home hobbies drove strong word-of-mouth. The company sold out twice in a single year.
They've also launched the iHarvest Micro Green Garden — a smaller countertop system for growing microgreens at home, free of herbicides and pesticides. Same core value proposition, smaller footprint.
Dave's advice for anyone entering the indoor gardening space: "recognize there's a new type of gardener emerging — one who doesn't have a lot of space and isn't very experienced. Simplicity is key. So is attractiveness, because nobody wants to be trapped in a small space with an unattractive garden."
