AFTERWORD AND THANKS

We have put all our experience into the guide. We have been making self-watering containers in the Vysočina Region for 29 years. Over that time, we have created several generations of containers and 22 innovations. You will find the best of these in the Urbalive product line.

It is important to us that you grow best using our products. We are experts in manufacturing and functionality, but there is always room for improvement. This is why we involve designers, gardening experts and hobby growers in the development and testing. We also consult with them for plant growing and care tips.
