But before we get any further, let me tell you that these gardens aren’t really smart. For example, they do not respond to voice commands or support any smart assistants. They are smart in the way that you can manage their watering schedule and light. Plus, they can notify you when they need plant food. And since most of these are hydroponic, herbs and other small plants generally have a faster growth rate. Moreover, you do not have to worry about pests and other insects. With that in mind, let’s check out some of the most popular smart garden kits you can buy. They make great gifts for the holiday season. Let’s check them out.
