Improved
Water the way Nature Intended
When clicked together and installed, GardenWells emulate the principles of a natural water table - allowing water to be wicked up into the soil evenly and consistently over time - creating the perfect growing environment for your plants to thrive.
The GardenWells Advantage
Save Water
Sub-irrigation conserves up to 80% of the water used by traditional top watering techniques. Evaporation is significantly reduced and wasteful runoff is all but eliminated.
Reduce Maintenance
No more wondering when to water, how much to water, or how frequently. Just fill the reservoir, and watch the float gauge. It's easy to communicate, and simple to structure into your weekly routine.
Drainage Control
No leaking, no mess. Perfect for balconies and rooftops where drainage is a serious issue. The overflow allows you to direct any excess water exactly where you want it.
Perfect Growing Environment
Consistent water, always! Water wicks up naturally from the reservoir below - as the plants need it. Creating the ideal moisture environment for your garden to thrive!
Water Retention
Retain stormwater and store it in your garden! With a storage capacity of ~ 7 liters per sqft, the reservoir fills up every time it rains and saves that water for sunnier days.
Modular to Any Size
GardenWells click together to create a sub-irrigated garden of any shape or size. Units can be trimmed or cut for a precise fit.
Featured Install - Grosvenor Ambleside
"GardenWells have proven to be an effective method for controlling drainage and improving plant health on our Grosvenor Ambleside development.
Especially in mixed-use developments where planter drainage could effect other user groups, the self-contained GardenWells contains the mess while retaining soil nutrients for continued plant health. In the winter the GardenWells provide adequate drainage to avoid stress from over saturation, and in the summer we have seen the GardenWells act as a cooling reservoir for controlling heat stress on plants while reducing irrigation requirements.”

★★★★★"Forget to water? Not anymore. Sub-irrigation allows water to the plants roots from a reservoir below, through capillary action. This means less water through evaporation. It can also protect nutrients from being washed out of the soil."

★★★★★"We partnered with LifeSpace Gardens to install over 30 veggie gardens to grow food in our public spaces for our community. They're built with GardenWells, so we only have to fill the reservoirs 8-12 times per year. Amazing results!"
