In the spirit of the season, I recently visited two startlingly different gardening supply stores for the
first time. One was your basic nursery type. They carried plants, Miracle Grow, lawn and garden
ornaments, and gardening tools. In the half an hour I spent wandering, there were at least two dozen
other shoppers wandering the premises. The employees were busy answering questions, and
customers of all ages were chatting with each other about commonly admired plants. It was quite
festive, but I did not find the treasure I was looking for so I continued my quest.
My next stop was the local indoor gardening supply store. I spent an equal amount of time in
this establishment. Only one other customer entered. He whispered in a hushed tone to the young
man behind the counter who proceeded to hand him a bottle of nutrients labeled “Super Bud” or
something of the sort. The customer paid and avoided eye contact as he walked hurriedly from the
store. I continued to scan the shop for a perfect gift for the greenthumb in my family (mom). This
was the moment that I realized LED Grow Master lighting gives indoor gardening shops across the
country a much broader market. (The moment may also have been inspired by the unnatural amount
of time I spend reading, writing, and talking about LED Grow Master lighting.)
For the first time, we have plant lighting that will fit over your book shelf or counter top. Lighting
that is safe and durable- for the true “hobby” gardeners. I’m talking about grandmas that want to grow
orchids in a dreary corner of the study without 1000 watts and a climate control system. Anyone that
doubts the size of this market need only step away from the indoor gardening shop and into the nearest
nursery, or check out the statistics on our aging population. On the other end of the spectrum- look at
the new trend of gardening in schools, or the increasing number of architects and builders
incorporating gardens into new buildings and homes. The LED Grow Master line is the first product
that avoids the burn, fire, shock, and mercury poisoning dangers that have been barriers to these
markets. Or maybe you can look into the solar powered communities that now have a viable plant
lighting option. These are only a few of the many new markets opened up with this technology. The
pie just got bigger. Get your slice now.
