About The Business

Our actions can change the world. Since societies have existed, the relationship between humans and nature remains a vital indicator of the health of a society. In our globalized world problems such as access to clean food, environmental pollution, and ecological breakdown plague the vast majority. Many times this can be attributed to poor management of land and resources. 60% of land in the US is privately owned, and therein lies a sisyphean problem. Many recognize the problem and are exemplifying these practices from which the world may learn.

My role in all of this is to promote locally sourced, holistic agriculture in our communities. My day job is turning SE Pennsylvania into functional and beautiful gardens, and our neighbors to gardeners. However I can't just hand you a shovel and expect a farm. What I can do is give you a seed and tell you how to make it grow. Then, you can watch as one seed turns into ten, and then ten into one hundred. All you have to do is pick what you want to grow.  Help me show the world how beautiful, practical, and rewarding agriculture is. One leaf at a time. 

Do you still think that you're going to end up drowning or starving plants? Feel free to contact me via email or through my instagram and facebook feeds. If you're shy, here's a great guide to starting your garden. It even tells about direct benefits of having plants, including increased focus, decreased air toxicity, and better sleep.  What could you possibly be waiting for?

Sincerely, 

Eoin Halpin

About the Owner

Born near Philadelphia, my ancestry is of many different European immigrants. I grew up with a home practice of gardening. I always had access to fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables. However, it all came from a space not conventionally designed for a garden. In my youth I learned of the importance of community gardens and volunteered in multiple land-restoration projects. I also was apprenticed to my father, a landscaper and handyman, and ecology nerd himself. Later I attended a New York based Farm-to-Table camp where I was taught the values of sustainable living. In my adolescence I traveled to O'ahu, where I studied at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. There I learned about international and local agricultural practices, and had the opportunity to be a greenhouse assistant at Lyon Arboretum. I particularly took an interest in ethnobotanical study and became well cultured in unique, rare, and practical plants. Since returning to the Northeast, I have started constructing multiple small greenhouses and have begun cultivating all sorts of plants. This is my outlet for horticultural knowledge, and for moving towards a healthier future for the Delaware valley area of SE PA.
