The space age Tower Garden™ technology took Future Growing LLC 10 years to fully develop into the product we offer today. It:
- Highly oxygenates the roots to grow healthy strong plants
- Feeds the plants a water based mineral solution
- Produces food in a “green” or sustainable vertical growing system
Create a highly oxygenated environment for optimal plant growth
To achieve the first goal, Future Growing designed a water based growing system that features a highly oxygenated environment for the plant roots. Modern research has shown that increased oxygen to the root system helps to prevent disease and improves plant growth.
Feed the plants a water based mineral solution: “Tower Tonic”
To achieve the first and second goal of producing healthy plants and healthy food for people, Future Growing also had to develop a water based mineral solution to support the Tower Garden™ technology.
It took support from leading world experts in plant and human nutrition to develop the proprietary Tower Tonic plant food we use at Living Towers. The Tower Tonic contains a wide range of specially formulated ionic minerals and plant nutrients. The Tower Tonic is the world’s first high performance ionic mineral solution specifically designed for all types of food and flowering crops.
Functions as a “green” or sustainable technology
The modular Tower Garden™ technology can be utilized anywhere in the world. This is highly beneficial because the ecological footprint of the food is greatly reduced by virtually eliminating shipping and storage.
The Tower Garden™ uses a closed system technology to recycle 100% of the nutrients and water. This means the plants use as little as 5 percent of the nutrients and water that is commonly used in conventional and organic farming.
Finally, the pH balanced ionic minerals and plant nutrients found in the Tower Tonic (Ionic mineral based plant food used in the Tower Garden™), produce strong, healthy plants that can better protect themselves from plant pests and disease. This reduces the use of organic and conventional pesticides.

Concerns with modern food growing and distribution
The majority of food grown for the US market is not produced in a green or sustainable way. Today’s food travels great distances, using fuel and electricity. It is stored in a chilled environment for a period of time, which uses more energy. It requires layers of packaging to end up in the consumers’ hands. It is sprayed with fungicides, pesticides, and herbicides, which requires more energy and pollutes the planet. Water practices for organic or conventional agriculture are extremely wasteful, which is a concern with looming water shortages worldwide.
