The Orléans and Barrhaven Launch
On November 26, 2024, Natural Food Pantry’s Orléans and Barrhaven locations launched the Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden in store, with working gardens on display. Plant Packs are pre-seeded, recyclable plant pods made for the egg-shaped garden’s three horizontal rows of five (15 plants total). Packs like Leafy Mix and Herb Essentials (Sweet Basil, Thai Basil, Parsley, Oregano and Cilantro) give shoppers a simple way to start growing herbs and greens at home.
Why the Partnership
“Partnering with Natural Food Pantry is a natural alignment of our shared values for health, sustainability, and accessibility,” said Alberto Aguilar, Co-Founder and CEO at Plantaform. “We’re thrilled to bring our innovative indoor gardens, Plant Packs and nutrients to their customers, making it even easier for individuals to embrace sustainable living and grow their own food year-round.”
Natural Food Pantry is known across Ontario for natural products and practical wellness guidance. Featuring Plantaform in Orléans and Barrhaven gave local customers a hands-on way to see indoor gardening up close.
“Natural Food Pantry is excited to collaborate with Plantaform to bring their innovative indoor gardening systems to our Orleans and Barrhaven locations,” said Rick Payant, RHN, Nutritionist, and Owner of Natural Food Pantry. “This partnership supports our mission of offering products that help our customers live healthier, more sustainable lives.”
About the Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden
The egg-shaped Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden grows 15 plants at once using soil-free fogponics. Full-spectrum red and white LEDs auto-adjust by growth stage. The garden uses a 2 L top tank and a 7 L bottom tank — most gardens need a refill every 2–3 weeks. Harvest herbs and greens any time of day once they’re ready.
