Built for Teachers. Loved by Students.

Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden running autonomously 01

Focus on Your Students. Not the Garden.

Plantaform runs itself. After a quick setup, the only thing teachers need to do is refill the water tank roughly once every three weeks — the app handles lighting, nutrients, and monitoring automatically.

No installation required — Plantaform at school 02

Up and Growing Before the Bell Rings.

Out of the box and growing in under 10 minutes. Fully assembled, no tools or installation needed, and light enough to move between classrooms, libraries, and STEM labs whenever you need to.

Proven curriculum integration — Plantaform in the classroom 03

Every Subject. One Device.

Science, technology, sustainability — all taught through one device. Schools across Canada and the US have embedded Plantaform into existing lesson plans across multiple grade levels, and curriculum guides are available for every subject area.

Students Who Can't Stop Checking on Their Plants.

Every school that brings in a Plantaform ends up with the same story: the students take over. They track growth, manage the app, remind teachers when it's harvest time — and keep the whole program running themselves.

The Technology

The Science Behind Your Classroom Garden.

98% Less Water Than Soil Growing
15 Plants Per Device
100% Organic & Non-GMO Seeds

Plantaform uses NASA-inspired fogponics to deliver water and nutrients as a fine mist directly to plant roots — no soil, no mess, no expertise required. Students watch plants grow through tinted magnetic windows while the app monitors every growing condition automatically, notifying teachers roughly once every three weeks.

What Our Educators Are Saying

Real Schools. Real Classrooms. Real Results.

Our Students "The fog inside is so cool. I never knew you could grow plants without dirt before this. It's my first time growing anything. We named ours Eve. I like to check on it every day before class." — Student, Grade 6 — Science & Health Class
Our Teachers "I was honestly nervous it would become one more thing I'd have to maintain. It hasn't been. The students check the app before I even remember to — they troubleshoot each other and remind me when it's harvest time. We covered plant biology, water cycles, and nutrition all through this one device. I've already submitted a request for two more units." — Teacher, Grade 8 — Science & Environmental Studies

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything Your Administration Will Ask — Answered.

How much time does a teacher need to spend on maintenance each week?+
Almost none. After the initial setup, Plantaform requires attention approximately once every three weeks, primarily to refill the water tanks and prune the plants. The app manages everything else and sends a notification when action is needed.
Does the device work on a school Wi-Fi network?+
Yes. Plantaform connects to Wi-Fi and we have experience working with schools to navigate common IT restrictions. We're happy to coordinate directly with your IT team to get things configured. Reach out to sam@plantaform.com with any questions.
What happens to the plants over summer break?+
We recommend harvesting all plants and running the self-clean cycle before school closes. When you return, simply insert new plant pods and start a fresh growing cycle. No special care is needed during the break.
Is it safe around students?+
Yes, completely. The system is enclosed with tinted magnetic windows. All plants are grown organically, pesticide-free, and using non-GMO seeds.
Does Plantaform meet school safety regulations?+
Yes. Plantaform complies with all applicable safety standards for schools and educational environments across Canada and the United States. Our device holds NEMKO certification, verifying compliance with North American electrical and product safety requirements. View our NEMKO certification →
Can we place it in a library, hallway, or common area?+
Absolutely. Plantaform works in libraries, STEM labs, hallways, and cafeterias. Its compact footprint and self-contained design suit any indoor space with a power outlet. Many schools rotate it between rooms throughout the year.
Does Plantaform provide curriculum resources or lesson plans?+
Video lesson content is currently in development. In the meantime, our team provides onboarding support and guidance based on how other schools have integrated the device. Email sam@plantaform.com to request materials.
