Smart Garden began in 2021 with a single pot of supermarket strawberries and an idea: that children in schools would assemble a smart garden themselves. Today our gardens are in homes across Croatia, in 77 schools — and in your pocket, as an app.
The first idea: an educational smart garden children would assemble at school. Because of its shape, we called the first prototype “the tree”.
We tour competitions with the prototype, learn entrepreneurship the hard way — and out of it all comes the Simply smart garden.
Press attention leads to our first real order: four educational gardens for a primary school. EduGarden is born.
At the world innovation fair in Geneva we win 3 gold medals — wind in our sails right before the first delivery.
Lipovljani primary school receives the first educational smart gardens: with technology, children grow tomatoes, courgettes and cucumbers — and learn where food comes from.
Golds from ARCA, iKA and Nürnberg, plus the 2023 Innovation of the Year award. Every product of ours is designed and built in Croatia.
Aurelia and Simply enter serial production — smart gardens for every home.
Growing becomes a habit, a game and a memory: the app is on the App Store and Google Play, and the first 100 growers become Founders — forever.
From the first pot of strawberries to serial production — making sure every garden reaches its owner exactly as it should be.
The goal from day one: for Smart Garden to become number one in smart gardens worldwide. Runs the company and develops the electronics behind our devices.
