Who is The Garden Starter?
Paul, The Garden Starter, worked as an engineer in medical devices for 20 years. During that time he was also an avid home gardener and abundance provider for family and friends. After the company he worked for moved operations to Mexico, Paul decided to stay in North Carolina and turn his hobby into a passion and now into a business.
The goal of The Garden Starter is to create self-sustainability for the clients. This involves connecting back to our roots as humanity and providing abundance for ourselves. Nature has provided us with all that we need to survive and thrive on this Earth. We just need to harness the motivation and ability to tap into the abundance that is already here.
Garden Design that works in your existing space.
When visiting a client’s site, I carefully assess the layout of the property and determine how to best utilize what is already there. The intention is to work with the natural environment and incorporate a garden space within it. The size and layout of the garden will be determined by the needs of the client, the available space to work with, and the topography of the yard. Whether it’s an entire homestead or a container garden on a deck, the most important thing you can do right now is get started.
Building a garden to provide
There are several options in the construction of a garden that can lead to success. I have experience building gardens using several different methods and materials that take into consideration the performance of the garden space, aesthetics, and budget. Each client is provided the same quality of materials and construction regardless of garden size or design.
Sustaining for a lifetime
I provide individualized instruction and guidance following the build to help each client make the most out of their new investment. I remain available after the build to all clients for advice and consulting on growing suggestions and gardening tips.
Unique features of
The Garden Starter
The goal of The Garden Starter is to work with clients to develop solutions that lead to and promote self-sustainability. The goal of self-sustainability is to become resilient to changes in the environment or society that could otherwise cause hardship.
Clients are invited and encouraged to engage in the process and actually work on building the garden with The Garden Starter team. Labor costs are determined by the time spent working on behalf of the client, and a client’s participation will most likely reduce the labor cost to the client while at the same time providing a unique hands-on learning experience.
Food, water, energy, and shelter are the primary principles of self-sustainability. Beyond starting gardens, The Garden Starter can also help assess your current resilience and provide solutions and opportunities to enhance all aspects of self-sustainability.
