Powered by Community Partners. Designed for Families and Individuals.
Green Our Planet partners with nonprofits, health agencies, foundations, and more to provide a high impact hydroponics program to families and individuals across the United States.

Healthier Habits. Happier Families. Better Food.—At Home.
We partner with organizations dedicated to family wellbeing, like the Emeril Lagasse Foundation, supporting 400 families in New Orleans, WIC Nevada, empowering moms and infants, and state health departments helping families build lifelong nutrition habits and stronger connections at home.
We are grateful for our partnerships with organizations like the Emeril Lagasse Foundation, WIC Nevada, and the United Way, making a real impact on the families and communities they serve.

Supporting Families at Scale:
Simple, Meaningful, Measurable.
Through partnerships with organizations committed to family wellbeing and long-term impact, we design programs that are simple to deploy, meaningful for families, and measurable for funders.
This is not a one-time giveaway. It’s a supported program designed to help families succeed—and to demonstrate real impact.

We provide surveys, observation tools, and reporting to track outcomes and inform continuous improvement.
Simple to Set up. Powerful to Experience
Once your communities are ready to start their hydroponics journey, we make it easy, fun, and sustainable!
Unit Pickup or Delivery
Each family or participant will receive their own state-of-the-art hydroponic unit to take home.

Then it’s time for unboxing and an easy 10-minute set up. No soil, no mess—just add water, plug in, and start growing.
Grow & Harvest
In 6-10 weeks (depending on the crop), they’ll harvest herbs, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and more—at home, year-round.
