a bottom wall;
a first side wall extending perpendicular to the bottom wall;
a second side wall extending perpendicular to the bottom wall and parallel to the first side wall such that the bottom wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall at least partially define a plant growing chamber;
a lid configured to selectively occlude access to the plant growing chamber, the lid being moveable between a closed position at which access to the plant growing chamber is occluded and an opened position at which access to the plant growing chamber is provided; and
a locking assembly moveable between a locked position at which the locking assembly prevents movement of the lid from the closed position to the opened position and an unlocked position at which the locking assembly permits movement of the lid from the closed position to the opened position, the locking assembly configured to be remotely actuated by a remote device,
