With a sleek modern design, a silent pump and a simple soft-touch button to control lights and reset plant food reminders, the 4.5-star-rated Aerogarden Sprout can be the latest fun addition to your home. It can grow up to three plants at a time, each up to 10 inches tall, without any soil. This is an advanced gardening method made easy.

The LED lights are energy-efficient and provide a full spectrum of light that tunes to the specific needs of the included plants, maximizing photosynthesis and leading to rapid, natural growth and abundant harvests. With the gourmet herb seed kit included (three seed pods containing Genovese basil, curly parsley and dill) and a three-ounce bottle of all-natural plant nutrients patented by Aerogarden, you'll have everything you need to get started.

But don't take our word for it. Reviewers love the Aerogarden Sprout indoor garden kit, too. 

"I've always been a fan of Aerogardens, but this one is a cut above," wrote one reviewer. "It's so quiet I sometimes have to get close to hear the motor at all. I expected the herbs to be weak and soft (normally wind strengthens the plants outside; indoor herbs can be weak) but they are robust and continually productive. If you take off a few leaves at a time, this will put herbs on the menu for months. 

"The basil is strong, as is the parsley, but the dill grows like a maniac. The unit is very small, easy to bring to the sink for cleaning, and tucks neatly into a countertop corner, bringing light to a dark spot in our kitchen."
