Gardening should be fun, not stressful.
It should be interesting, not boring.
Your garden should be Superior.

Jen
FOUNDER
Jen is originally from central Wisconsin but has always been pulled toward Lake Superior. Growing up, she was always keeping busy outside doing whatever she could. She graduated from the University of Superior-Wisconsin with a Bachelor’s in Community Health Promotion and is currently pursuing a Physical Therapy Assistant Degree. Jen has coached youth girls’ basketball and softball for the past few years. When she isn’t cheering her girls on, you can find her reading a book, challenging Eric to a board game, walking the pup, or practicing a new yoga pose.

Eric
FOUNDER
Eric is originally from Iowa and has slowly moved his way up north throughout the years. Growing up, he was always eager to help out around house, especially when it came to gardening. He was always on the swim team, even through college. He graduated from Grinnell College with a Bachelor’s in History and Technology Studies. As he began to move north, he leaned toward the tech side of the world. He now has a Master’s in Educational Technology Leadership and an MBA in Organizational Leadership and Change. He currently works for a technology company based in San Francisco. In his free time, you can find him gardening at home, reading a book, playing a board game, photographing the beautiful North Shore, or researching the latest and greatest tech gadget.

Jess
GARDENING CONSULTANT
Jess is a gardener extraordinaire from Waupaca, Wisconsin. Between her cross country coaching and teaching high school English, she somehow manages to bake award-winning goods, raise a toddler and chickens, and grow a bountiful garden.

Although new, Grace is from the area and so far, is loving it. In her free time, you can find her reading, building with magnatiles, and running around.

Theo
THE INTERN/BOSS-IN-TRAINING
Theo is the newest addition to the team. Despite his lack of many teeth and his all-milk diet, he’s a major fan of the garden. He’s learning all the tips and tricks of the trade from Grace and makes sure we stay on track even when she (very rarely) naps. He’s enjoyed Minnesota summer and fall so far, and is looking forward to experiencing this thing called “winter.”

Rosie
SUPERVISOR/CHIEF PRODUCE TASTER
Rosie is originally from Texas and was brought up to the north in 2019. Fortunately, she fell in love with the snow the first time she saw it. The cold on the other hand, well you can find her being a couch hog to stay cozy and warm. When she isn’t “helping” dig the garden, you can find her chasing squirrels, drinking from the hose, or sunbathing on her porch chair. Yes, she has a porch chair.
