Click & Grow vs Skoove

The Click & Grow Smart Herb Garden takes complete care of plants automatically with zero external assistance needed.

The Smart Herb Garden combines nature with technology and lets the user raise up to three herbs at once solely by adding water to the container and plugging the device into the wall socket. It uses innovative NASA-inspired technology that helps plants grow a little faster but still 100% naturally with no GMOs, pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, plant hormones, or any other suspicious substances. It’s all nature at its purest.
