Setup Help / Getting Started

Hello!

My fiance is huge into plants and for Christmas I wanted to get her a nice indoor setup since she wants to grow some herbs and take care of her existing plants and we have harsh winter weather.

While looking at stuff online I stumbled on this Reddit.

What types of things do I need (other than to pick a cabinet) to get her started. My budget is probably less than 500, and clearance isn’t an issue since I have an empty wall I could place things. It could be by a window or not I don’t know if that makes a difference.

I know nothing about this stuff for reference, it’s meant to be a surprise!
