Gardyn Launches Studio 2, an Upgraded Hydroponic Garden for Small Spaces

Smarter features and easier maintenance make the latest version of Gardyn’s smallest system ideal for modern urban living

BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gardyn, the leading smart indoor gardening system that empowers anyone to grow fresh, nutrient-rich produce at home year-round, today announced the launch of Studio 2, the next generation of its award-winning compact hydroponic system. Using automated watering, lighting, and AI-powered plant care, Studio 2 makes it easy to grow greens, herbs, and vegetables indoors, no green thumb required. Designed for smaller spaces, Studio 2 brings the powerful technology of Gardyn Home’s system into a more compact, streamlined design at just 1.4 square feet.

With over 100,000 Gardyn systems sold nationwide, the company is at the forefront of a new food revolution in how Americans grow and consume food, making fresh, homegrown produce part of everyday life. Since launching, Gardyn users have grown more than 3.5 million pounds of fresh produce, saved over 60 million gallons of water, and eliminated 1.9 million pounds of food waste, underscoring the real-world environmental and health impact of growing food at home.

Available today, Studio 2 builds on the original’s compact footprint and 16-plant capacity with new features that make growing fresh, pesticide-free food indoors even easier. Inspired by Gardyn’s premium Home 4 system, key upgrades include:

• No-Clean Columns: Sealed silicone modules eliminate buildup and crystallization, making maintenance practically effortless.
• Upgraded HD Camera: A high-resolution, ultra-wide camera gives users and Gardyn’s award-winning AI assistant, Kelby, a clearer and more vibrant view of plant health from top to bottom.
• Sunrise/Sunset Lighting Modes: Mimics natural light cycles to gently ease plants and people into day and night.

“With Studio 2, we’ve taken our most accessible product and made it even more powerful,” said FX Rouxel, CEO of Gardyn. “It brings nature, beautiful design, and health into your home, making it easier than ever to grow fresh food effortlessly, with the same technology and performance found in our flagship system.”

More than just a garden, Studio 2 becomes a living centerpiece of a healthier, happier home. Gardyn users often describe the experience as grounding and mindful, an antidote to busy, screen-filled days.

Purpose-built for modern living, Studio 2 fits seamlessly into apartments, or shared homes, producing a steady supply of fresh greens, herbs, and more with automated watering, lighting, and AI-powered plant care. It also redefines how we think about food and sustainability, using 95% less water than traditional agriculture while eliminating both plastic and produce waste and the need for pesticides or transport.

Studio 2 is available now at mygardyn.com and through retail partners including Amazon and Home Depot for $549 or $23/month with 0% APR available. Each system includes a 16-plant starter kit, grow guide, and everything you need to assemble and set up your Studio 2 in minutes. The Gardyn App comes standard, allowing users to monitor and control their Gardyn from anywhere. Gardyn also offers a Membership starting at $19/month, which includes monthly plant refills (yCubes), access to exclusive plant varieties, 24/7 support from Kelby (your personal gardening assistant), and features like Vacation Mode.

With Studio 2, Gardyn continues its mission to make fresh, tasty, and sustainable food more accessible, without the waste, chemicals and compromises of the industrial food system.
