Produce
Microgreens
Microgreens are harvested very young — usually 7–21 days after germination. They’re small, but their flavor is intense, and they can be packed with nutrients. They fit beautifully on small shelves or under simple grow lights.
Leafy Greens
Leafy greens are full-size plants harvested for their leaves. With hydroponics, you can grow tender heads of lettuce or cut-and-come-again greens that keep producing new leaves over time.
Herbs
Herbs grown hydroponically like basil, mint, cilantro, parsley, and dill develop bold aromas and vibrant flavors without the impurities often found in soil-grown plants.

1. What is Gardenia Plus?
Gardenia Plus is a division of Mendel and Roots Inc., a Canadian start-up dedicated to advancing clean and efficient growing of fresh greens. It was founded by a group of educated, passionate individuals who believe that high-quality greens can be grown sustainably and enjoyed year-round. Gardenia Plus focuses on sharing knowledge, improving growing practices, and helping more people discover the benefits of hydroponic microgreens and leafy plants.
2. Which communities does Gardenia Plus serve?
Gardenia Plus proudly serves the Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge region, supporting individuals and families who are seeking fresher, cleaner ways to incorporate greens into a healthy lifestyle. Our focus is on helping local communities discover the benefits of hydroponic microgreens and leafy plants — offering guidance, education, and resources for anyone interested in improving their nutrition through fresh, sustainably grown food.
3. Do hydroponic greens taste different from soil-grown greens?
Hydroponic greens are to be crisper, fresher, and more vibrant in flavor. Because the plants receive consistent nutrients and clean water, their taste is often more balanced and their texture more tender.
4. Are hydroponic greens pesticide-free?
Yes. Because hydroponic greens are grown indoors in a controlled environment, they don’t require soil-based pesticides. This helps keep the greens naturally clean and reduces exposure to contaminants commonly found outdoors.
5. What does sustainability mean in our growing approach?
For us, sustainability means growing food in a way that protects resources and supports long-term health — both for people and the environment. Hydroponic microgreens and leafy plants use significantly less water than traditional soil farming, require no chemical pesticides, and produce minimal waste. By growing indoors, we reduce dependency on long-distance transportation and seasonal limitations. The result is fresher, cleaner greens that are better for you and gentler on the planet.
