Purposeful Simplicity

Caja is intentionally simple, low-tech, and easy to use. Anyone can garden with Caja including children and seniors – no matter your language, cultural background, or previous experience.

Rugged Durability

Caja is designed to last. No moving parts means nothing to break, nothing to wear down, and years of stress-free gardening. Never worry about pumps that can leak, batteries that can die, or power failures that can ruin your entire crop.

Gardening and Food Antifragility

Caja gardens produce outstanding results, and allow individuals and communities to improve their resilience and antifragility. Whether it is overcoming water scarcity, avoiding contaminated soils, repurposing and greening up vacant lots – Cajas can provide food, community, nutrition, and purpose, even for the self-proclaimed “black thumb” gardeners.

Unmatched Adaptability

Cajas are perfectly adaptable to any location, from urban balconies to rural homesteads, from fly-in Canadian First Nations Communities to 5 Star Hotel Gardens, and everything in between. And yes, we’ve helped folks in all of these situations setup a garden. Learn more from our Garden Case Studies.

Wherever you have a sunny spot (or indoor growing lights), you can grow with the Caja!

Who Is The Caja For?

Small/Limited Spaces

If you have limited space, the Caja will still allows you maximum yields. The Caja is especially adaptable for condos, apartments and townhouses – allowing production of fresh produce, even with a limited gardening area.

Parents/Educators

For educators and parents, the Caja easily opens the world of growing, and will get your students and kids “hands-on” involved in sustainable growing. The Caja is small enough to be brought into the classroom and used by kids of all ages.

Senior Accessibility

For seniors and those who may have mobility challenges, the portability of the Caja and the option to raise it up on a stand or table allows anyone to garden without bending while also avoiding the heavy work of digging and prepping an in-ground garden.

Gourmet Chefs

For the gourmet chefs, the Caja allows you to have your herbs and greens right at your doorstep or outside your kitchen. It is literally not possible to have fresher ingredients at hand.

Busy Professionals

For those with a busy lifestyle, the Caja allows you to go up to 1 weekbetween watering. This is especially useful for those who like to go away for the weekend without worrying about the plants drying up or your garden being neglected, or who want the freshest tastes on the deck at their weekend retreat.

Farmers/Homesteaders

For people who already have a big garden, the Caja is a great way for you to grow new varieties or experiment with unique crops in your garden, and to have herbs and flowers on the deck, adjacent to your BBQ!

Never Worry About Overwatering

Overflow Hole

Simply water until the 10L reservoir is full and you see water coming out of the overflow hole. With Caja you never have to worry about how much to water or when to stop.
