Job description

GrowSquares designs outdoor gardens that are fun, productive and easy to use. Our system leverages an app that captures remote microclimate data to ensure our users not only grow the best herbs, fruits, and vegetables for their space but are able to do so using the exact mixture of nutrients, minerals, and bacteria their plants need to thrive. We form our proprietary mixture (seeds included) into modular square‑foot blocks, wrapping them in a nutrient‑rich organic casing that continues to feed a users’ plants as it biodegrades. Once a user’s garden has been delivered, the app is able to provide tailored watering, servicing and harvesting recommendations as well as help users identify and address any problems their plants might be experiencing.
