who we are
our story
gathera was born out of a shared passion for gardening, sustainability, and hydroponics. It all started in 2018 when Peter and Dilhan met on a camping trip. From a simple idea, finding a way to grow food indoors, they built a company focused on making hydroponics accessible to everyone, reducing water use, and designing products that last.
The idea took root when Peter's friend moved into a small apartment and found herself frustrated by the lack of space and light needed to grow her own food. What if there was a way to grow fresh produce indoors, even in low-light spaces, without soil? At the same time, Dilhan was working in sustainability and exploring ways to reduce water consumption. Hydroponics, which uses up to 95% less water than conventional gardening, emerged as the answer. The synergy between their backgrounds gave life to gathera's mission: making sustainable indoor gardening accessible to everyone, no matter where they live.
Our goal is simple: help everyday people grow fresh food at home, cutting food waste and food miles along the way.
what drives us
our principles
- great customer service Our customer service is Australian through and through. Friendly, reliable, and always focused on genuine care, not just closing a ticket.
- no shortcuts gathera is built for the long haul. We intend to be around for the next 20 years and beyond, supporting customers through the entire lifecycle of their garden: servicing products, repairing kits, and helping them regrow with fresh supplies.
- design-first With engineering backgrounds, we naturally gravitate toward smart, considered design. Quality and function guide every decision we make, ensuring our products perform exceptionally and stand the test of time.
where we have been
our journey so far
Over the years gathera has grown from a small idea into a business serving tens of thousands of customers across Australia, the UK, and beyond. We have been stocked at Costco, David Jones, Flower Power and more.
Each customer interaction has been a chance to learn, refine, and evolve. In 2024 we reached a major milestone with the launch of our most advanced hydroponic gardening range to date. Years of research, customer feedback, and a relentless push to improve went into it. We believe it is the best hydroponic range in the world, designed to bring the joy of growing food into homes everywhere.
let's grow together
Whether you are a seasoned gardener or just getting started, we are here to support you every step of the way. Hydroponics can be more than a niche. It can be how the world grows food. We want you to be part of that.
