The Gingerly Tower · At Your Business
A grow your guests can see.
A managed outdoor hydroponic tower installed at your restaurant, bar, hotel, or shop. Patio, courtyard, rooftop, or outdoor dining. We plant it, we feed it, your team cuts what they need.
The Service
A working herb garden on your patio, without the labor of one.
The Tower, the maintenance, the expertise. All on us. What stays with you is the freshness, the visual, and a piece of the property that earns its keep.
Outdoor only, natural light.
The Tower lives outside in the sun. Patio, courtyard, rooftop, outdoor bar, sidewalk seating. Roughly 30 by 30 inches of footprint with at least six hours of direct sun a day.
Weekly or biweekly visits.
We test the water, top up nutrients, replace anything struggling, and prune for steady output. Cadence is set based on the install and the harvest demand your kitchen runs.
A plant fails, we replace it.
Failures happen in any growing system. Yours are our problem, not yours. Replacement seedlings are part of the service, not an upcharge.
Ideas for the Tower
A few things that thrive in a tower.
Towers do well with small, frequently harvested crops. The list below is a starting point. If something else is on your menu, tell us. We can usually source the seed and try it. Anything that doesn't fit a tower, we can grow on the farm and deliver.

Bring to InquiryCommon Questions
What restaurants usually ask first.
Where does it go?
Outdoors. Patio, courtyard, rooftop, outdoor dining or bar area, sidewalk seating. Anywhere with at least six hours of direct sunlight a day. Footprint is roughly 30 by 30 inches.
What does the Tower need from us, operationally?
Power, a small outdoor footprint, sun, and access for a service visit. That's it. The system is self-contained. Your staff doesn't need to do anything between visits.
How much produce can one Tower realistically supply?
A single Tower carries 36 plants, harvest-ready about three weeks after transplant. FLEX extensions can stretch higher in cases where the menu needs it, similar to specialty herbs. For most restaurants 36 covers presence-level fresh herbs daily, not high-volume service. That's where wholesale comes in.
Can you supplement the Tower with wholesale produce?
Yes. The Tower covers what fits well in a vertical column: herbs, leafies, edible flowers, and a handful of fruiting plants. For higher volume, the bulk basics (butterhead, romaine, baby kale, salad mixes), or anything the Tower can't grow, we deliver from our farm on a weekly cadence. Ask us about wholesale on the call and we'll work the right pairing into one quote.
How is aeroponic different from regular hydroponic?
Aeroponic means the roots hang in air and nutrient water rains down through the column instead of running through soil or sitting in standing water. Up to 98% less water than soil-based growing, plants up to three times faster, no soil mess, and no pest pressure that comes with ground crops. We use aeroponic for the Towers and hydroponic flood tables on the farm.
What happens with hurricanes or hard freezes?
We coordinate with you to move the Tower to a protected spot or shelter it in place. For normal Lowcountry weather the Tower handles itself.
What if a plant dies or the system fails?
Replacements are part of the service. If a plant struggles or finishes its cycle, we swap it on the next visit at no charge. For system issues, we respond within 24 hours during the work week, sooner for emergencies.
What does it cost?
Plans are published below. The base service is the same across all three; the commitment changes the rate. For multiple Towers, a custom service cadence, or specialty-plant heavy configurations, we work the math out on a short call.
How long until we'd be cutting herbs?
From install to first harvest is roughly three to four weeks depending on the crop. Faster herbs like basil and mint hit usable size sooner than slower greens. We can stagger plantings so something is always ready to cut.
Do you brand the Tower?
Lightly. A small Gingerly mark and a QR code at the base point your curious guests to our site. We don't cover the Tower in our branding. The plants are the point.
