With the recent nationwide food recalls, you may've been inspired to grow your own fresh ingredients at home. If so, check out this new indoor garden that can help you do just that. It's like no other we've seen.
Plantaform's Smart Indoor Garden, which CNET's ground team was able to sneak a peek at during CES 2025, is designed to allow you to grow herbs, vegetables and additional produce inside your home, making it a great solution for people who want fresh ingredients year round with minimal work.

The groundbreaking product is made in Canada and uses a combination of fog and nutrients to water the plants' roots, also known as "fogponics."
"This [fog] allows for an optimal absorption of nutrients, resulting in healthier and faster-growing plants," the company says on its website.
You can grow herbs, vegetables or flowers in your indoor garden.
It can grow 15 plants at a time, and the fog and colored lights inside help this futuristic design resemble a mini stage where a mini DJ is about to play a mini set. The windows are removable for whenever you're ready to harvest your plants and another innovative feature is that Plantaform's Indoor Garden self cleans, creating even less work for you.
The self-watering and self-cleaning garden measures 26.2 inches on each side. It comes in two colors, frost white and midnight black, so you can choose whichever one best matches your home's interior. It also pairs with the Plantaform App, so you're able to monitor your plants' progress and water levels.
Best of all? Unlike other products and concepts unveiled during the giant tech event held in Las Vegas, Plantaform's Smart Indoor Garden is available for purchase right now. It costs a pretty penny -- $500 -- but your purchase comes with a lettuce mix to get you started (score!), plus Plantaform nutrients and accessories.
Currently on Plantaforma's website there's a cherry tomato mix and a cocktail mix, which features lemon basil, dill, thyme and mint. They're available at $30 each.
