Modern Sprout was founded with a vision to reconnect people in urban environments with nature.

They design products that enable people of all ages in any environment to grow their own fresh herbs, vegetables, and even flowers– right in the comfort of their own homes. It’s a way of making nature accessible to all, regardless of environment or skillset.

Turn back to 2013 in the heart of Chicago and couple Nick Behr & Sara Burrows have a problem, perhaps a familiar one. They want a fresh, homegrown herb garden–  but they live in the city, have no yard, no time, and no space for a homegrown herb garden.

Turning to hydroponics, a system to self-water plants— Behr and Burrows set out to design a scaled-down model that could work in their city home, be productive and fit aesthetically into the space.

* Their first, and perhaps most prolific products are their hydroponic grow kits, like this Tapered Tumbler with Eucalyptus

Starting with their hydroponic self-planter for herbs like rosemary and basil, the company has continued to grow their line and now includes urban grow kits, botanical gift sets, pollinator friendly children activity kits, seed pops, and indoor plant care accessories. It’s an ever-expanding line of gardening gifts and tools that help people grow better, anywhere.

What sets Modern Sprout apart is not just its aesthetic strengths but also its dedication to sustainability –  both of which can be seen in the meticulous care shown for design in not just their product themselves, but also how they are packaged for display and shipping. Each of their products are plastic-free, consciously designed to securely hold & playfully package their wide array of planting kits. 

From the inception of the company to its constant growth, it’s clear that Modern Sprout approaches solutions with design, balancing productivity, sustainability, and style into every aspect of their production system. With their mission of empowering individuals of all ages to cultivate their own green spaces, Modern Sprout sows the seeds from a more sustainable and grounded future.

Seaside in Santorini is a great home-grow kit to bring the Mediterranean to your windowsill!
