Save Grocery Money

A well designed, easy-to-grow garden will save your family thousands of dollars over the years. The aeroponic Tower Garden is designed to last 20-25 years and will produce over $10,000 of healthy, beyond organic produce over its lifetime in the sunny southern states.

Follow God’s Practical Plan

Build houses and live in them; and plant gardens and eat their produce” (Jeremiah 29: 5 NASB). Gardens were in God’s plan for the captive Israelites, and we can be assured that He intends for us to grow our own healthy produce today too.

Learn the Principle of Sowing & Reaping

“Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (NASB)

 Learn the Principle of Pruning

I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.” John 15:1-2 (NASB). Nothing drives this lesson home like pruning an unruly tomato plant.
