To support growing success, Urbotanica™ understands that we need to assist people in learning the right skills.
Many people get the impression that growing plants is difficult, but the reality is growing fresh food is easy when you’re armed with the right technical solutions, advice and shared learnings.
Urbotanica aims to help people learn the value of growing their own foods and be secure in knowing the quality and safety of those foods.
Solving the world’s food & health issues begins in the kitchen.
It’s no secret that the amount of energy and water consumed in the global fresh food industry is frightening, not to mention food wastage.
Individuals successfully being able to grow fresh food in the modern urban home is a major leap forward in addressing so many of these issues.
Knowledge is only useful when shared and used to enrich people’s lives.
We are building a community that allows everyone to benefit from our collective growing experience.
Everyone should know what to grow, when to grow, how to use it in cooking and general food preparation, tips and tricks to encourage faster and stronger plant growth.
All these nuggets of information are there to be shared by the expanding Urbotanica™ community.

The UrbiPod™
UrbiPod™ Design Features
Mobility: Our growing Pods are unique from other products - detachable from the main unit to enable mobility around the home & kitchen. This allows ease of access and use and enables crop rotation amongst other Pods - therefore ensuring access to harvest ready herbs and salads.
Size: The large Pod size has been horticulturally designed to support healthy root development and sustainable plant production. The larger Pod size caters for more plant varieties and the ability to plant more than one variety of herb or salad in each Pod.
Stylish Design: Fashionably designed to sit amongst modern kitchen appliances.
Natural Solutions: Our growing medium - coir - is a 100% natural by-product of coconuts. Eco friendly with high water retention - perfect for plant growth.
Customer Choice: UrbiPod’s design flexibility supports creative growers who like to experiment growing what they want and how they want to grow it.
Clever & Efficient: No apps or gimmicks. We use the latest energy efficient LED growing lights. And with our patent pending irrigation system, the UrbiPod uses capillary action to move water and nutrient from the reservoirs to the plant roots. No pumps.
About The UrbiPod™
-
4 Mobile Growing Pods
The Pods are detachable from the unit so they can be moved around the living and kitchen area, including the dining table for easy access to fresh herbs and salads. (4x Pods included) -
Self Watering, Auto Lighting & Energy Efficient
Our automatic LED lighting replicates the sun to enable successful growing. LED lighting is energy efficient and reliable - our lights are rated at 50,000 hours & on average, use the same electricity as your toaster. Lights are designed to come on and off automatically - 16 hours on 8 hours off. That's because plants, like people, need to sleep in the dark to be at their best. Plant watering is via capillary action drawn up from the water reservoir in base of the UrbiPod via our clever wicking system. Cool heh? -
Natural Nutrients & Growing Medium
By using liquid nutrients (instead of granules for example), all the minerals in the nutrient are available to the plant at the right concentrations all the time. The result is faster and better quality plant growth. Our growing medium - coir - is a 100% natural by-product of coconuts. Eco friendly with high water retention - perfect for plant growth. And the coir is compressed so as to reduce the carbon foorprint. -
Range Of Seeds
With a range of seeds to choose from, you'll never be bored with the UrbiPod. In pack information helps guide planting and spacing for healthy growth. A 7 pack of seeds are included in your UrbiPod starter kit - cress (2*2), rocket, basil & oregano. More seed varieties to come shortly. We've included 4 cress because they grow quickly and you'll want to replant another crop as soon as you've enjoyed your first. Use 2 cress per Pod. -
Size Matters
The UrbiPod's larger and deeper growing Pods enable stronger root development. That means more herbs & salads. The deeper roots & size means most plants will keep on producing - unlike your supermarket herb packet. -
Customer Choice
With the UrbiPod you aren't locked in to using only our seeds and coir. UrbiPod’s design flexibility supports creative growers who like to experiment growing what they want and how they want to grow it. Whilst we think you won't get as good a growing result you can use other materials. And they might not be all natural as ours are.
