The Gardyn 2.0 is the most advanced smartgarden I've ever gotten my hands on, but it could still use some improvement.

Gardyn review: easy gardening for a high price MSRP $849.00 Score Details “The Gardyn takes everything I like about smart gardens and scales it up to include way more plants, but the app control is a bit finicky.” Pros Cons Do you like to cook? Even if you don’t fancy yourself much of a chef , there’s something about being able to spice up a premade jar of marinara sauce or hit just that perfect spice combination to take a dinner from run-of-the-mill to extraordinary.

The app needs work It’s rare that I loathe an app as much as I do this one. While the Gardyn itself is a fantastic device, the app is held together with duct tape and prayer, and not enough of either. For the most part, it works, but there are several small issues that can be infuriating. One thing that’s worth noting is that the app has its own built-in smart assistant named Kelby, which will alert you when it’s time to refresh the water in the tank, add plant food, and much more. However, most of Kelby’s features are locked behind the staggeringly-expensive monthly subscription.

Still, though it’s not an inexpensive membership, it includes enough perks to more than pay for itself, especially if you’re a die-hard user. Those same varieties grow at much slower speeds in the Gardyn, but I hope that means they will last for much longer. I’m starting to get a bit impatient, though; the vibrant colors of some of the plants make me want to try them out, but there’s just not enough for a decent harvest.
