Why use the Berlin GreenBox as an indoor herb garden?
Our smart herb garden is the perfect combination of technology and function. With our GreenBox, we bring fresh greenery into every home - regardless of whether the sun is shining. The indoor herb garden with irrigation system and lighting is for everyone. Even without green fingers. Our indoor gardens impress with their uncomplicated set-up, fast delivery and record-breaking growth of your kitchen herbs. With our step-by-step guide, you'll be growing your indoor herbs in no time at all.
Your new GreenBox is not only space-saving, but also a real eye-catcher for your home. You can place it virtually anywhere - it doesn't need direct sunlight or a lot of space. The herb garden for the kitchen is a game changer for party evenings, recipes and your everyday life. Make full use of the Smart Garden and choose the space for your kitchen herbs.
Simply connect your Berlin Green Box to the mains using the power adapter supplied and you're ready to go! The connection to the GreenBox can be found on the right-hand side of the mini-greenhouse under the touch sensor for manual switching on and off. When the light starts to flash slowly, you've done everything right.
The water level sensor ensures that you always know exactly whether your herbs are thirsty. For the Smart Garden with watering system to work properly, you need to slide the sensor into the small compartment at the bottom of the box. You can then connect it to the socket on the wooden handle of the GreenBox using the USB cable. This allows it to provide precise updates on the water level.
You can choose from our various herb garden bundles or put together your own favorites for your DIY herb bed. Our PlantPlug sets "Italian herb mix","Super Vitamin Mix" and "Cocktail Grow Set" contain eight PlantPlugs and various seeds that will soon provide you with flavor, nutrients and vitamins. Of course, we make sure that the herbs go well together.
Once you have decided on your seeds, place the plugs in the slots in the box. The GreenBox has space for a total of 8 different PlantPlugs. You can then scatter the seeds over one plug at a time, as if you were seasoning your food. Be careful and don't let anything go wrong.
It is best to label the herb pots immediately afterwards, for example with our Magic Pen. This way, you always know exactly where you have sown which herb seeds and don't have to search long for your parsley or dill. Just like in a real herb greenhouse, you can simply label the plant capsules in your indoor garden and get started.
Our GreenBoxApp is your helper and friend while you grow your fresh herbs. You can download it for free from the AppStore and use it straight away. It provides you with information about the individual plants and tells you when it's time to top up the water. With the GreenBoxApp, you really do have a smart indoor herb garden.
Plants mainly need two things to grow: light and water. With the LED plant lamp on the GreenBox, you have already fulfilled this requirement. Simply fill the water tank with 2 liters of lukewarm water and sit back for the next two weeks. For an extra growth boost, you can use our mineral fertilizerwhich you can simply mix into the water.
Place the U-plates on your plant capsules and switch on the plant lamp so that you can watch your herb bed grow in real time. Within just a few days, you should see the first small shoots waving at you, green and fresh. Our app keeps you easily up to date.
Of course, your kitchen herbs shouldn't just brighten up your home and put a smile on your face - after all the waiting, you can finally harvest your results. Taste your favorite dishes and invite a few friends over for a cocktail evening or cookout: You're guaranteed to have the perfect herbs on hand.
Invite your friends to a cocktail evening
Impress your friends with a refreshing summer cocktail with home-grown herbs. A non-alcoholic drink with thyme, basil, mint or rosemary is just the thing after a hot day in the fresh air and is a relaxing way to end the evening. And it tastes even better if you have picked the herbs yourself.
Cook Italian with your loved ones
Is Italian food your secret weakness? Then how about a cooking evening together where you prepare your favorite dishes together? How about our delicious vegan carbonara with fresh basil, for example? The best thing about it: you don't even have to go to the supermarket to get the right herbs because you already have everything at home - fresh from your indoor garden! Pure enjoyment guaranteed.
Spice up your morning drink
After a good night's sleep, there's nothing better than a refreshing drink in the morning. Get out your smoothie maker and blend a few of your favorite herbs into your ingredients or simply throw a few basil leaves into your sparkling water. Add a slice of lemon to the glass for a particularly lively touch.

No, your Smart Garden from BerlinGreen works completely without sunlight! All you need is a power socket nearby. This is how we power the plant lamp, which is installed on the wooden box and evenly illuminates your seeds. Depending on the light setting, the lamp shines for 12 to 16 hours and creates the perfect conditions for your Smart Garden.
Yes, you can also put the seeds together yourself and plant the PlantPlugs. However, you cannot use them more than once, as the roots of the herbs and plants penetrate the entire plug when they have grown large. Individual seeds are available from us in both single packs and packs of four.
No, the smart indoor garden is space-saving and blends in with any interior design. Its timeless, sustainable design makes it a real eye-catcher and fits perfectly on any windowsill, chest of drawers or side table.
The Berlin GreenBox is also suitable for people without green fingers! The plant lamp provides the seedlings with optimum light, while the water tank keeps the roots and soil moist. The GreenBox app uses the water level sensor to monitor the water supply and tells you when you need to refill it - approximately every 2 weeks.
Our indoor herb garden is simple and smart. All you need is a power socket and some water to keep the PlantPlugs and your seeds well supplied. If you have any problems with the app or the box, we are always available to help.
