Planting Seeds: Grow Microgreens in a Tiny Vertical Garden
What It Is: I love growing my own veggies, and while I make an effort to do it in the summer, I have to admit it’d be nice to do so year-round. Enter the EcoQube Frame – a super small, apartment-worthy vertical garden that fits nicely on a shelf or can be wall-mounted. Simply add water and seeds and watch as your choice of plant – like microgreens or wheatgrass – grow in as little as 10 days. While I love the food application, you can also use it to grow a pretty piece of living art – try succulents for a stunning arrangement. How does it work you ask? Check out EcoQube’s handy resources here, but in a nutshell, water moves upwards through a unique capillary action, creating a super hospitable environment for your fave veggies and plants to grow. Love it!
Who It’s For: Your green-thumbed parents. Your veggie-loving sibling that just moved on. Your college dorm-dwelling kid that could use something green in their life.
What It Costs: $49 USD + $9 shipping to Canada.
Where It’s At: It’s Kickstarter week here on the CGG. Each day I’m featuring gift ideas you can nab on Kickstarter right now for great prices. Look for the EcoQube Frame to hit your mailbox in Winter 2018 peeps.

Cool idea not sure I would spend this much though
What a wonderful idea!
practical idea
My son would love this. It is a bit on the pricey side but would be a long lasting gift.
Pricey, but would be a welcome addition to our winter diet.
I love this! So tempted to get this!!
I think it would be great to grow herbs!
I live in an apartment so it would be great. A bit expensive though.
Not something I would be interested in but some would like.
This is a great useful gift idea. I am a subscriber
Not a fan. It is just another form of a planter and more expensive.
Love this idea!
I love the idea, the price is reasonable compared to others I have seen. This would be perfect for my apartment living daughter who is very particular about her greens.
I’d love this for my husband who is presently nursing a couple of succulents.
I love it !
I think it is great. Saw it on Kickstarter. DOn’t think I would buy it though.
I think this is a really good idea
The size and the ease of the EcoQube Frame are great. I would definitely try this!
Growing micro greens at home has certainly become more trendy! Great product.
BONUS senz ENTRY : I think this earth-friendly gift idea is a great way to introduce gardening to city folks but not sure about the hefty price tag.
It’s a great idea for people with a green thumb , it’ just not for me. It would make a great gift though.
This would be great for herbs. I would love to purchase it!!
I love this idea and it would be perfect in my small kitchen.
Neat gift idea if you live in an apartment, but I would probably just build my own planter for cheaper.
cool idea, but probably gimmicky
Depending on the person(s), this might be ideal for temporary digs where plants or greenery are limited. A couple of herbs might be fun to grow provided their scents aren’t overpowering.
