About Modern Sprout:

MODERN SPROUT was co-founded in 2013 by a husband and wife team that struggled to sustain a garden in their Chicago apartment. The creative duo turned towards their windowsill and put pen to paper, and the seeds for Modern Sprout were planted.

From nutritious herbs in the kitchen to a wildflower oasis for pollinators in the backyard, Modern Sprout is dedicated to cultivating connections between homes and the natural world. We tackle the challenges of plant care with simple-to-use products that creatively solve for space, light and seasonal constraints.

What you touch, we’ve touched. We source as much as we can domestically and prioritize manufacturing, assembling and shipping from our hometown.
