About
A Letter from your Garden Consultant
Fellow Gardener,
Thank you for your desire to learn more about us. Habitat Herbs has steadily grown to fruition over several years. My aim, first and foremost, is to provide a service to future gardeners, to the plants, and to the critters who make their home in a garden.
Our vision is “Herb gardens for every home, and every home a habitat.”
As a long time gardener and nature enthusiast, I believe in the power of nurturing plants and plants nurturing us in return.
I remember my first garden, I made all the mistakes. I was terrified of bugs. I planted winter veggies in summer. I removed all organic material from the top soil and watered with a hose sprinkler. I didn’t even know what to do with the harvest!
So, I’ve been there. All those mistakes were teachers, and I’m here to pass on the lessons to you. Please take a look at the Garden Packages. I’m open to creating a custom package just for you. Contact me with your ideas.
Best gardening wishes,

Happiness Growth
Gardening lowers stress levels, boosts immunity, and promotes positive mental health.
