BOULDER, CO--(Marketwire - April 13, 2009) - AeroGrow International, Inc. (NASDAQ : AERO ),

Overall, gardening is gaining interest in the U.S., according to a new
survey from the National Gardening Association. In fact, the number of
Americans who plan to plant a garden this year has increased by 19%, with
21% of them brand new to gardening. Adding even more momentum, First Mom,
Michelle Obama, recently planted a vegetable garden at the White House, the
first since the Roosevelt administration.
"People love the AeroGarden," said Sylvia Bernstein, Vice President of
Marketing for AeroGrow. "It's so easy that anyone can set it up. It grows
so fast you can literally see it grow from day-to-day and harvest the
freshest food for delicious meals at home. Kids really enjoy the AeroGarden
too. AeroGardens not only teach them about gardening and plants, but they
also make it fun for them to eat more healthy green veggies. As a mom,
that's something I really appreciate."
Hundreds of thousands of people are now enjoying garden-fresh food, grown
indoors in their own AeroGardens. The AeroGarden's fool-proof, dirt-free
design is perfect for people who want to grow year-round regardless of the
season. In addition, AeroGardens are ideal for people who live in
apartments or condos without the space for an outdoor garden or for people
