A garden design is very personal, and must be tailored to every family's particular needs. All of our designs are made on an individual basis, using your input according to your requirements.
We offer design only options for those of you who are do-it-yourself-ers, and full service and upkeep options for those who are not!
Homegrown is an environmentally friendly and human-powered business. In our designs, we exclusively use materials which are local, recycled or salvaged from the trash, and local and heirloom plant varieties. We use hand tools and bike power as much as possible.
We will do our best to work with any budget, and the first consultation is free.
It's time to start taking care of our community, ourselves and the environment!

The ability to garden was once common knowledge. As our country has become more and more industrialized, and jobs have become more and more specialized, gardening knowledge has gradually gone from the hands of many to the hands of very few. The freedom that comes with the ability to grow food in one's own backyard, for little to no cost, has sadly never been felt by the majority of people in our country. Of course, many people grow a few tomatoes, or peppers, but the ability to grow real food, staple foods like potatoes, grains and dried beans has mostly fallen by the wayside. We started Homegrown with the hopes of giving people the confidence, knowledge and helping hand to feed their own families fresh, healthy, organic food from their own backyards. It's time to take the corporation out of the food chain, and replace it with mom's, dad's, grandma's, grandpa's and child's green thumbs!
