The idiot-proof self-watering indoor garden makes this process even easier, especially for parents who don’t have the time, space, or the green thumb, to do, say, raised beds. These planters take the guesswork out of gardening, distributing just the right amount of water for optimal growth. Some even come with their own lighting systems, so you don’t have to parse what really constitutes partial or indirect light. Just add seeds, fill up a water reservoir, plug it in, and watch your plants thrive. Keeping something alive has never been so easy, rewarding, or delicious.
