About Epic Gardening

Hi there – I’m Kevin. I got into gardening in early 2011 with my first hydroponics setup. I lived in a condo back then, so I didn’t have space for a big backyard soil garden.
I had to get creative.

I never stop learning new things, which just strengthens my love of gardening. It’s a combination of artistry meeting science, paired with a whole lot of healthy exercise. What more could you need?

There is nothing more satisfying than going to pick fresh produce and eggs from your backyard and whipping up a delicious meal… and I love growing food for my family and neighbors, too!

I hope to help more people experience what it is like to eat out of their gardens daily! Epic Gardening allows me to teach others the experience of what homegrown produce really tastes like.

My goal in life is to empower readers of gardening and herbal publications to grow gracefully, practically, and efficiently so they can achieve desired results in their gardens.

Rachel here! Even though my dad’s an avid gardener, I didn’t discover my love for it until I went to college. I took a landscape design course for an elective and was hooked – plants are amazing!

I love working outdoors with people and plants, so working freelance in community and therapeutic horticulture is a dream come true.

My love for gardening was inevitable having been raised by two grandmothers with epically green thumbs.

Gardening is important because it not only provides healthy food, it helps her connect to nature and care for the land.

It wasn’t until a plant biology class in my second year of college that I became obsessive about plants.

Growing food for yourself is such a powerful thing – we can all be gardeners and get our hands in some soil.

My entire front yard is landscaped with native plants and wildflowers, and providing habitat for animals and food for pollinators is very important to me.

Even though I still very much feel like a beginner, I am really passionate about helping other people learn about plants and how to grow their own food.

My goal with gardening is to do everything as naturally and as sustainably as possible.

I identify as an Indigenous farmer from the Southwest, located on the dynamic Colorado Plateau.

As a lifelong gardener, flowers and plants are also the focus of my work as a photographer, writer, and creator.

Hello! I’m Jillian. I’ve always had a tremendous fascination with plants and nature.

One year, I decided to do some research to figure out how I could grow peppers on my apartment balcony, and it worked! I realized gardening is a skill you learn, not an innate talent you are born with.
