Marly sells a sustainable self-watering planter to help you grow plants at home.

After several trips to Lowe’s, Home Depot, and local nurseries, the process of building a successful garden proved to be more time-consuming and stressful than I had ever imagined. My friend (now co-founder) and I kept asking ourselves the same question —  There’s gotta be an easier way to do this, right?

What followed were days and months of brainstorming our perfect solution. The result? A sketch of a modular, self-watering planter that would just as easily fit in my apartment in New York City, as it would in my family home in Iowa. It's no surprise that we don’t have the time, space, or guidance it takes to grow plants successfully, it’s hard work — which is exactly how Marly came to be. A simple solution to a difficult problem. 

The last 3 years have been dedicated to working with horticulturalists and communities all over the country, in an effort to understand the problems that a modern grower faces everyday and simplify them. Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just getting started, our aim is to provide you with the confidence you need to grow healthier, happier plants.
