We would like to invite you to get to know the persons behind the first urban growers community of its kind!

Hey! (Greens 😉)

Nice to meet you. whether you have already joined our family of growers or are undecided - we want you to know us better and understand what led us to start a business that aims to promote future agriculture among our city mice 🙃

We are childhood friends (been suffering from each other for almost 22 years!) From Givatayim, together from the first grade at the Yigal Alon school in Givatayim to post-army trips. There is no better way to start a quality business than with a friend who knows you better than your parents.

Meet Nadav Fish - the artist behind our stunning woodworks!

Nadav studied his first degree in industrial engineering and management at Shenkar and worked for years in the world of restaurants, running bars and connecting diners to an overall experience between food and the meal itself.

Nadav cultivates one of the beautiful gardens, in his house in the center, has been learning about different irrigation methods for years and is experimenting with them, in order to reduce the maintenance and irrigation time of all of us in the garden and make it more correct.

He gets up every morning with one goal in mind - to add more and more people to the home hydroponic agriculture revolution, and no one will stop him on the way!

welcome the other side of HyGreens - Gilad Melman who some calls "the plants whisperer"

Gilad studied for a first degree in economics and sustainability (environmental studies) at the IDC in Herzliya and in recent years has worked for high-tech companies and leading organizations in the country. Gilad has advised on many sustainability projects for authorities and private companies in order to assimilate ecological ideas in day-to-day processes, and this is what he intends to do for our growers as well 💪 so that they too can do good for our planet.

He lives and breathes sustainability and is nourished by good karma, Gilad manages the collaborations and projects at HyGreens with the vision to make future agriculture as accessible as possible!

HyGreens was established during the Corona period. After we bought ourselves hydroponic systems for self-assembly and started trying to grow our vegetables independently and enjoy their beauty (wow how beautiful they are!). The shopping experience was confusing. Start choosing all the necessary parts for the system, choose a suitable pump (how do you know what is suitable?) And if all this is not enough, go buy plants somewhere, in the best case, an hour drive from the center without knowing what their quality and whether they fit our systems at all.

From here it was clear to push this field one step further. We wanted to offer a product that provides a much broader solution. A product that will help growers join a new field, which sometimes seems a bit confusing and complex.

For us, the accessibility of the product in particular and the method of hydroponic cultivation in general, is expressed in a variety of ways:

Each system you see on the site will include in its price all the small parts that you may not have thought you needed:
Organic and high-quality (very!) plants, One liter of one of the best hydroponic fertilizer on the market, planting cups, a growing medium and a pump that suit your needs.
And speaking of your needs - with us you can customize each system according to the types of plants you want to grow and the exact dimensions of the location where you want the system. This is how it is when you put a design item in the house 😎
Levels straight systems. No need to start calculating angles and compromising on decorativeness or symmetry in the house.
Installation services that are an experience. We will arrive, guide and connect you to the new experience you have just acquired!
Maintenance and delivery services of plants, fertilizer and all related products to your front door! 🛵
Join the family from day one! Everyone who buys a system from us receives a delivery with a quintet of seedlings to choose from the site and includes a check of the correctness of the installation of the system and the plants and providing advice and tips for more correct growth! Those who purchase additional installation services will receive a 3-month "Basic HyGrower" subscription, which allows them to receive new seedlings if you need them, because we know that starting can be difficult.
Do not understand what happened to the seedlings? Not interested in cleaning the system of green / dirt? No problem! We are here to provide you with remote / home consulting services, system maintenance and cleaning services, water value measurement and more!
