Can you growfresh, organic basil and parsley in winter? In an apartment?

With theAuk Miniand its easy-to-use system that lets you grow anything you want, even the blackest of thumbs will have more herbs than they know what to do with. Icertainly did, with no more maintenance than the occasional water refill and a couple pumps of nutrients. Now, after the early 2026 release of the Auk Mini 2 (which is even better), the OG model’s price has been slashed to $199. Auk confirms this is the lowest price it has ever been.

If you’ve been eyeing this stylish, wood-accented garden but balked at the $260 price tag, this is your chance.
