Discover the Benefits of Gardyn Membership
We've designed our memberships to help you get the most out of your Gardyn experience. With all that membership offers, you'll be able to grow with confidence, no matter your experience level.
Choose how you want to grow
Your Gardyn works beautifully with or without membership - the difference is how much it does for you.
With membership (guided by Kelby)
Kelby monitors your Gardyn and guides you on what to do and when, helping you grow with confidence. You’ll still perform regular care like pruning, harvesting, and maintaining your tank - just as you would without membership.
You’ll get:
Personalized tasks and reminders (so you never have to guess)
Automatic watering adjustments based on plant growth
Real-time alerts and proactive guidance
Continuous optimization using sensors and cameras
Kelby interprets your Gardyn’s data and guides you on what to do and when, offering timely support at each stage of your growing journey.
Best for: a guided growing experience with less guesswork and more confidence.
You decide what to do and when, using the data and resources in the app. Your Gardyn runs on proven default lighting and watering schedules designed to grow healthy plants.
You can absolutely grow successfully without membership - you’ll just take a more hands-on approach.
You’ll:
Check the app for updates and plant status
Adjust lighting and watering if needed
Use the Plant Book and Help Center for guidance
Best for: growers who enjoy being hands-on and learning as they go.
The Key Difference
Without membership, you interpret the information and decide what to do.
With membership, Kelby guides your decisions and helps you stay on track.
Let Kelby, your personal master gardener, guide you to success
Kelby’s innovative, constantly evolving AI technology leverages your Gardyn’s cameras and sensors to optimize your growing experience. Gardyn is the only hydroponic system that self-evaluates its assembly and can detect its own functions, like watering your plants and giving your plants the right amount of light.
Save time and effort by chatting with Kelby directly in your app, live, any time. Kelby will respond with instant, customized answers to all of your Gardyn-related questions, helping you grow like a pro.
With Kelby Tasks, you’ll never have to guess or plan when to care for your Gardyn - Kelby will organize action items by the day and remind you instead! From growth-based plant care notifications to water alerts and more, it's easier than ever to stay organized and grow with ease.
Kelby can also optimize your water schedule based on your plants' growth when you enable Smart Watering, ensuring your plants are perfectly watered every day.

Redeem free monthly credits + 1 free monthly shipment to order new plants & plant food
Credits and item counts vary between Gardyn Home and Gardyn Studio membership plans. Each plan type must be tied to the same Gardyn type (Gardyn Home users cannot choose a Studio plan, and vice versa).
Enjoy nonstop fresh produce with 10 (Gardyn Home) or 5 (Gardyn Studio) monthly credits that you can use on plants, plant food, Microgreen seed pads, and Microgreen support plates by shopping directly in the app!
You can bank up to 30 (Gardyn Home) or 16 (Gardyn Studio) credits to use whenever you're ready. It's more than enough to keep your Gardyn refreshed and experiment with new varieties.
Orders over your credit balance will be charged at a discounted rate of $1.99 per credit plus flat-rate shipping (vs $4.99 per credit plus shipping for non-members).
Credits may only be used with an active membership. If you choose to stop your membership, we will preserve your credits for 90 days. You can reactivate your membership at any time within the 90 days to use your credits. All credits expire for memberships that are inactive for more than 90 days.
Orders over your credit balance will be charged at a discounted rate of $1.99 per credit plus flat-rate shipping (vs $4.99 per credit plus shipping for Gardyns without an active membership).
A shipping charge of $9.99 will apply for every 10 plants (or if an accessory is added) to the ordered beyond the initial 30 (Gardyn Home plan) or 16 (Gardyn Studio plan). You may place more than 1 order each month, but free shipping will only apply to 1 order per month in an effort to reduce carbon emissions. Gardyns without an active membership pay $9.99 for every 10 items purchased, regardless of device type.
You can easily keep track of your credits from the status bar on your app's home screen:
Membership-exclusive plants
We use a rigorous process when selecting the plants we offer, but only Gardyns with an active membership get access to all of them!
We select these exclusive varieties to bring you otherwise hard-to-find plants that offer the best in taste, beauty, intrigue, and delight. These varieties can be ordered using monthly credits.
Receive free replacement credits for plants that don't germinate
Grow worry-free knowing we will replace any yCubes that do not germinate after 21 days, along with any unsprouted Microgreen seed pads or bare root strawberries without new growth.
Access Vacation Mode to keep your plants healthy when you're away
Kelby never takes a day off, so you can! Vacation mode uses a research-backed lighting and watering schedule to slow your plants' growth for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy time away knowing you won't miss your window to harvest or pollinate. Plus, Vacation Mode saves water and power - more reasons to breathe easier when you're away from home! Click here to learn how to prepare your Gardyn to turn Vacation Mode on.
