Smart Garden 27 Review: The Click & Grow 9, Tripled for a Real Home Harvest

The Smart Garden 27 is Click & Grow’s answer for readers who like the Smart Garden 9 but keep running out of room. Instead of changing the growing method, it stacks three 9-pod gardens into one stand, giving you 27 plant positions for herbs, greens, flowers, and compact fruiting plants.

That makes it less experimental than many large indoor gardens. You still get the familiar Click & Grow smart soil pods, passive watering, and simple LED routine. The difference is that you can grow basil on one level, lettuce on another, and tomatoes or flowers on the third without crowding everything into one small countertop unit.

Quick Verdict

The Smart Garden 27 is best for Click & Grow fans who want a larger harvest without learning hydroponics. It is expensive, but it keeps the same beginner-friendly pod system while adding enough capacity for a mixed indoor garden.

Smart Garden 27 at a Glance

  • Best for: larger Click & Grow pod gardens, families, herbs, greens, and mixed plants
  • Capacity: 27 pods across three stacked garden units
  • Water tank: 3 x 4L reservoirs
  • Light: three 13W LED systems, about 39W total
  • Growing method: Click & Grow smart soil pods with passive watering
  • Typical price: $899.95

Who Should Buy It?

Buy it if you already understand the Click & Grow rhythm and want much more capacity. The Smart Garden 27 is especially useful if you want to grow several types of plants at once instead of choosing between herbs and lettuce every month.

The stacked layout gives each level its own small garden routine instead of one crowded large tray.

Who Should Skip It?

Skip it if you only want a few herbs for cooking or if you do not want a visible floor-standing garden in the room. A Smart Garden 9 is cheaper and easier to place, while the Click & Grow 25 is more specialized for repeated greens harvests.

Pros

27 pods gives real mixed-garden capacity without moving to an exposed hydroponic system.
Each level works like a familiar Smart Garden 9, so setup stays beginner-friendly.
Good for combining herbs, lettuce, flowers, and compact tomatoes in one setup.
Available in white, grey, and beige finishes to match different rooms.
Uses the broad Click & Grow plant pod catalog.

Cons

High price compared with buying one smaller countertop garden.
Takes more floor and wall space than it first appears.
Three reservoirs mean more refilling than a single large tank system.
Ongoing pod costs can add up if you keep all 27 spots active.

Design and Everyday Use

The Smart Garden 27 feels like a modular tower made from three known pieces. That is a strength. There is less guesswork than with a totally new system, and readers who have used the Smart Garden 9 will recognize the water float, light arms, and pod cups.

The tradeoff is routine. Because each shelf is its own garden, you refill three tanks instead of one. That is not difficult, but it does mean the system rewards a simple weekly check-in. Keep water topped up, rotate crops by shelf, and harvest herbs or greens often so the plants do not shade each other.

The Smart Garden 27 is essentially three Smart Garden 9 units organized into one vertical home garden.

What Can You Grow?

The official product page highlights basil, yellow mini tomato, and green lettuce pod packs, and the broader Click & Grow pod catalog gives you plenty of room to experiment. Basil, chives, cilantro, dill, parsley, mint, thyme, romaine, kale, arugula, mini tomatoes, chili peppers, strawberries, and edible flowers are all sensible candidates.

For the cleanest setup, dedicate each shelf to a plant style: herbs on one level, greens on another, and compact fruiting plants or flowers on the third. That keeps harvesting easier and makes the garden look intentional.
