Turns out, gardening isn't just down to earth—it's up in orbit too. On the space station, astronauts grow lettuce in “plant pillows,” learning how food might grow on Mars. Back home, that research is changing how we garden: using LED grow lights, hydroponics, and creating radiation-tolerant seeds. We’re closer than ever to strawberries from space and tomatoes tough enough for the moon. The future of gardening may not be in the dirt—but fresh produce has to beat out traditional astronaut food.
