Urban living is evolving rapidly, with more than half of the world’s population now residing in cities. As cities grow, they face rising temperatures, limited green spaces, and reduced quality of life. Urban gardening has emerged as a powerful solution to bring nature closer to people, improve mental wellbeing, and make cities more sustainable. Among the innovative brands transforming city life, Boum stands out for making plant cultivation accessible and joyful for everyone. By combining technology and ecology, Boum empowers urban dwellers to grow thriving plants, reconnect with nature, and contribute to a greener future.
What Drives Us
Cities house over 4.2 billion people, yet they often lack green spaces and nature. Urban life exposes residents to heat, stress, and limited environmental quality. Boum believes that bringing plants closer to people can transform urban living. From balconies and terraces to windows and entrances, we encourage everyone to integrate greenery into their daily life.
Plants not only improve the climate but also uplift mood and reduce stress. Our mission is to make urban spaces greener while enabling all people to successfully grow plants, fostering a sustainable and joyful lifestyle.
How We Work
We focus on innovation to simplify urban gardening. Combining ecological principles with modern technology, we create solutions that make plant cultivation efficient and stress-free. Our interdisciplinary scientific approach ensures that every product is user-friendly, reliable, and designed to maximize the joy of gardening.
By understanding the challenges faced by urban plant lovers, Boum develops solutions that cater to different lifestyles and living spaces. Our work goes beyond products, as we aim to inspire more people to connect with nature and embrace sustainable living, one plant at a time.

Our signature solution is a nature-inspired watering system optimized for potted plants. Paired with our app, sustainable substrates, and specially adapted plants, we create a unique environment for plant growth.
This combination ensures a higher success rate for urban gardeners and promotes environmentally conscious practices. By offering these carefully designed solutions, Boum helps people build thriving green spaces at home, making urban life healthier, more sustainable, and full of natural beauty.
