Gardyn

Gardyn’s hydroponic organic indoor garden takes Biophilic Design to the next level— not only do you get to look at the greenery you grow, this indoor garden grows 30 edible plants year-round in just two square feet— enough to harvest a big, fresh salad every day. The starter set comes with 30 organic, non-GMO, plants.

EasyPlant

If you don’t have a green thumb, these plants can still help you bring Biophilic Design indoors. These plants come in self-watering pots that carry water to the roots only when it’s needed.

FYI ➜ “Non-toxic” doesn’t have a definition, and I use the words chemical-free, toxin, and toxic on Interior Medicine inaccurately. I do this for practical purposes, for now: they’re accessible terms that allow people to find what they’re looking for, and they’re shorthand for a complicated problem. I made an entire (free!) course about this. Check it out here.
