True Garden is the first high-tech greenhouse in the U. S. capable of producing most cool season food crops year-round even in the scorching desert, where temperatures reach 120 degrees during the day and 90 degrees at night during peak months. The greenhouse uses very little energy in the winter months by operating in a naturally vented mode. During the hotter summer months, the greenhouse utilizes a combination of smart and efficient technologies to affordably keep the greenhouse at optimal temperatures, both during the day and night.
As the centerpiece of its state-of-the art greenhouse, True Garden founders Lisa and Troy Albright selected Future Growing’s vertical aeroponic Tower Garden technology because Future Growing has a very successful and proven track record –establishing hundreds of urban farms with its vertical aeroponic technology across the country – and the vertical tower farm is ideal for small urban settings like this one. Utilizing Future Growing 's aeroponic technology which re-circulates valuable water, True Garden uses 95% less water, 90% less space, and no harmful chemical, pesticides or herbicides like Roundup. The technology benefits urban growers and consumers alike, since the aeroponic plants grown on Tower Gardens are more nutrient-dense than traditional produce, they grow extremely fast and the Tower Gardens produce living produce with the roots still intact. You cannot buy produce that is fresher and more hyperlocal than that.
True Garden employs aeroponic tower systems that grow plants vertically, without soil. Nutrient-rich water is delivered directly to the plant roots, reducing the need for water and space. This method uses 90% less water compared to traditional soil-based farming, making it highly sustainable in arid climates or areas with limited water resources. True Garden uses greenhouse technology to maintain a controlled environment where temperature, humidity, and light are regulated to optimize plant growth year-round. The controlled environment reduces the need for chemical pesticides or herbicides, ensuring clean, natural produce. While not officially certified organic, True Garden follows organic practices by using non-GMO seeds and natural methods to grow their produce. The aeroponic system allows for better nutrient uptake, leading to healthier, more nutrient-dense produce. Aeroponic systems grow vertically, requiring less land to produce the same amount of crops as traditional horizontal farming. By growing locally and reducing the need for long-distance transportation, True Garden minimizes its carbon footprint. True Garden also offers educational services to teach local communities about sustainable farming, aeroponics, and organic practices, helping spread their sustainable techniques.
