Meet Auk Mini: The sequel to our award-winning and best-selling indoor smart garden from Scandinavia.


Auk Mini takes care of water, light and nutrients, and gives you a steady stream of fresh herbs. Spend just 10 minutes setting it up, and enjoy fresh herbs from your kitchen counter - all year round. No green thumb needed!

Auk is also the first open-air indoor garden, where you can use any seeds and plant cuttings just like in a regular garden.


Born in Norway's arctic climate, Auk has quickly become the #1 indoor smart garden with over 50,000 users throughout Europe, the UK, and the USA. Auk has been nominated best-in-test and praised for its unique looks and functionality.


With its sleek and iconic Scandinavian design, Auk combines beauty and practicality. The low profile, harmonious blend of raw aluminum, locally sourced wood and matte finish makes it a stylish addition to any home. Auk Mini is now also available in white and black - with both Oak and Walnut finishes.


We have made Auk as sustainable as possible. It's produced in Europe using local, sustainable materials. To further minimize climate impact, we ship all products in plastic-free, 100% recyclable packaging. We also recover used Auk units and recycle them for a more circular supply chain.


Auk represents a significant advancement in vertical farming, with our unique hydroponic design that consumes 90% less water and close-to-zero electricity. Auk inspires a healthier lifestyle and reduces food waste by allowing you to grow what you need, when you need it, with little-to-no effort.

The future is green - and now we’re paving the way.
