The gro-POD

A project supported by the University of Houston Green Building Components (UHGBC) applied research program, the gro-POD is ideal for use in community gardens, commercial developments, and private home gardens – anywhere there is a flat surface!

The gro-POD is inexpensive, movable, reusable, and high quality – perfect for do-it-yourself groups without being too much work to get down to the business of urban growing.
