Built by a Grower.
For Growers.
Andrew Woodward has been growing soillessly since 1996 — not as a hobby, but as a mission. A mission to prove that clean, efficient food production is possible anywhere, by anyone.
A Florida Condo.
No Yard. A Sick Mom.
In 1996, Andrew was living in a Florida condominium with no outdoor space and a mother who needed a chemical-free diet for her health. Traditional gardening wasn't an option. He needed to grow food — clean food — indoors.
He discovered soilless growing, and it changed everything. Not just what he could grow, but how he thought about food, water, and the future of farming. He never went back to soil.
30 years later, every Aero-Gro system is still built by hand — in Allentown, PA — by Andrew and his team, with the same commitment to clean food and precision engineering that started in that Florida apartment.
30 Years in the Making
From a Florida apartment to hand-built systems shipping across the country.
The Mission Begins
In a Florida condo with no yard, Andrew began growing food indoors — soillessly — to give his ailing mother the clean, chemical-free diet her health demanded.
The First Prototype
Decades of hands-on growing come together in the first working prototype of an Aero-Gro high-pressure aeroponic system.
Aero-Gro Is Launched
The company is officially born — built to put clean, efficient, soilless growing into anyone's hands.
The Hang-Ten Arrives
The flagship Hang-Ten system is released — 300% faster growth with 95% less water, hand-built in Allentown, PA.
Getting Smart
The first prototype of the Aero-Gro "smart" controller takes shape, bringing precision automation to the root zone.
AeroPilot in Development
Work begins on AeroPilot — a fully automated, AI-driven grow system that manages your garden for you.
What's Next?

30 Years of Growing Science
Built on More Than Business
These aren't marketing values. They're the principles that shape every decision we make.
Made in the USA
Every Aero-Gro grow system is hand-built in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Not overseas. Not outsourced. Here.
Family Business
Sanctuary Industries LLC is a family operation. When you call us, you reach someone who actually grows — and actually cares.
Science First
Every specification — droplet size, spray interval, nutrient concentration — is backed by plant science, not marketing guesswork.
Clean Food
We started because someone we loved needed pesticide-free food. That purpose hasn't changed in 30 years.
Real Support
USA phone support. Mon–Fri 9am–5pm ET. A real person in Pennsylvania answers. Not a chatbot. Not overseas.
Sustainability
95% less water than conventional farming. 98% less land. We built this for the future before the future made it necessary.
Andrew Woodward
Founder, Aero-Gro · 30 Years of Indoor Growing Experience
Andrew has been designing and building aeroponic grow systems since 1996 from his workshop in Allentown, PA. Every Aero-Gro system is hand-built in the USA using science-backed technology originally developed for NASA — and behind every order is a real person who actually grows, and actually cares.
