Trusted around the world, Black & Decker® is a leading brand in a wide array of home products from power tools to yard care, small appliances and more.

Since our earliest days as a small Baltimore machine shop, Black & Decker has remained steadfastly focused on customer needs. Our legacy includes hallmark products, such as the world's first consumer drill, electric hedge trimmer, and DUSTBUSTER® hand vac. For over 100 years, our products have been insightfully built to make tasks easier and results more satisfying.

PlantSmart is our latest breakthrough. It's a revolutionary plant care sensor that combines advanced technology and expert advice to take the guesswork out of gardening. It was developed in collaboration with PlantSense. By combining PlantSense’s cutting-edge innovation with the power of Black & Decker, we are giving gardeners a whole new level of service and personalization – both in their yard and on the Web. This exciting partnership represents Black & Decker’s first internet connected home sensor product.

PlantSense brings sensors and simplified web technology together to help home gardeners grow flourishing fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees and shrubs. PlantSense developed EasyBloom to make caring for plants and gardening simpler and more successful. To learn more about PlantSense, please click here.
