About Us

Mission

Kigarden redefines the interaction between the human being and the restorative power of plants, with 100% natural smart gardens that integrate contemporary design, green technology and botanical innovation.

We provide the technology, the material and the support to create a physical garden for the home-production of unusual herbs that will be innovative and natural furnishing elements.  

Everything is ready to go: just plug our smart garden in, plant the seeds and add water every few days.

History

This is not the intro of a Woody Allen’s comedy... it’s the birthplace of Kigarden, the garden of well-being for re-establishing the japanes "Ki", the energy of life in a natural way.

During a spring night in Paris, three italians started to talk about the future of green cities and of the incoming demands of wellness, such as personal engagement and the role of natural remedies to restore a broken harmony. Thanks to the professional backgrounds of each one, a pharmacist, an architect and a marketing expert, the idea of a product aimed to trigger the self-herbalist revolution started to grow.

That was just the first step of a long journey, a long road which aim at making everyone aware of the healing power of plants.
