What We Deliver

Plant insights with proven results.

INCREASE YIELD + Act faster and with confidence; better decisions that maximise productive growth across every square metre.

+5–35% yield gains reported

PREVENT ERRORS + Detect biotic and abiotic stressors weeks before they become visible - protecting quality and consistency of harvest.

>2 weeks earlier stress detection

OPTIMISE INPUTS + Follow the plant demand, not fixed schedules. Fine-tune lighting, irrigation and climate for optimal growth.

>€20k/ha/yr lighting savings

"The sensor data contributes to a homogeneous production of high quality and to cost control. On balance, I estimate that the result per square meter is at least 5% higher."

"Gardin sensors added value in seeing a response before we saw the crop deteriorating. I could see the sensors being used to enhance quality and yield in lit crops."

"Gardin has helped us to think more about the long-term effects of our crop strategy on plant health rather than choosing short term gains."

How It Works

Quantifying the invisible

Sensor measures photosynthesis
Gardin Sensor scans your crop canopy using proprietary chlorophyll fluorescence — continuously, autonomously, across 10m².

AI converts signals to insights
The raw signal is streamed to the cloud where AI models generate Gardin Plant Vitals.

Growers optimise cultivation
Insights, trends and alerts are delivered via the Gardin Platform — integrated with Priva, Ridder and more.

Gardin Pulse

Detect earlier, grow better.

Gardin Pulse is the heartbeat of your plants - delivering plant stress alerts, productivity insights and actionable recommendations via a dashboard and API.

Real-time photosynthesis insights
Stress alerts weeks before visual symptoms
Integration with Priva, Ridder and more

WHAT GROWERS ARE SAYING...

"Before, I mainly focused on the climate conditions in the greenhouse — with Gardin I can measure the effect of the climate on the plants themselves."

"Gardin has helped us to think more about the long-term effects of our crop strategy on plant health rather than choosing short term gains."

"Gardin sensors added value in seeing a response before we saw the crop deteriorating."

"Gardin has helped us clearly identify when our plants were receiving too much light."

Our Story

Gardin began with the simple observation that decisions in farming are made without directly measuring the thing that matters most: the plant.

Today, growers rely on climate data, irrigation readings, and historical recipes to guide their strategy. Gardin changes that by measuring photosynthesis as real-time plant feedback.

Our mission is to enable resilient food supply chains with plant-powered intelligence. Our vision is to create systems that adapt to the plant in real time - bioautonomous growing, anywhere in the solar system.
