The people behind Urban Planty
We’re a small European team on a mission to bring greenery into the smallest of spaces — the makers of the patent-protected Urban Planty vertical garden, designed and made in the EU.

Our Story
Before we drew a single sketch or built a single prototype, we asked ourselves one question:
How can a person living on the 10th floor grow herbs and plants on a 4 m² balcony and enjoy the fresh taste of home-prepared food, if they have no space for a garden?
We started with Kickstarter
We went to Kickstarter to promote our vertical garden and raise funds for three injection-molding tools for the first production series. The campaign failed — but we learned a lot and got to know the market.
… and continued on Start, Slovenia!
On Slovenia’s biggest entrepreneurial TV show we introduced Urban Planty to the whole country, won over the audience and gained our first loyal customers — the push that moved the project forward.
On our way to Italy & Germany
After attending International Green Week in Berlin twice and our first German sales, we expanded very successfully into online sales in Italy — building brand ambassadors and distribution to specialized gardening stores.
“We didn’t set out to sell planters. We set out to prove that a tiny balcony is enough to grow something real.”
Anej Sirk · FounderWhy Urban Planty
Everything we build follows one belief: anyone can grow their own herbs and plants, no matter how little space they have.
Nature for those without a garden
A balcony, a kitchen corner, a 4 m² terrace — that’s all it takes. We help city dwellers reconnect with growing, even without a backyard.
Fresh, healthy food at home
Herbs picked minutes before a meal taste better and are better for you. We make home-grown, chemical-free freshness part of everyday cooking.
Greenery for wellbeing
Caring for living plants calms the mind and brings nature indoors. A little daily green ritual is good for body and spirit alike.
