2022 in Review

Our most exciting accomplishment in 2022 is the impact that all of our Gardyners have collectively had on our environment. At Gardyn, we want to imagine a world where communities grow their own food from the highest quality of seeds, 100% pesticide-free, full of nutrients, and grown in a sustainable way to have no impact on the environment – and we’re doing it. Together we made a fundamental change and look forward to doing even better in 2023!

Gardyn Strawberries: The Ultimate Taste of Summer This Winter

As the leaves and temperatures continue to fall, Gardyn props open the door to fresh, sweet, summer indulgences all winter long with the introduction of Gardyn Strawberries! We selected our organic, sustainably-grown strawberry variety to align with our mission to rethink the future of food. Gardyn strawberries are meant to be picked and enjoyed at their peak ripeness, providing you with the tastiest fruit and the most nutrition, all while remaining pesticide- and plastic-free.

Earth Overshoot Day 2022

Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services exceeds what Earth can regenerate.

Honoring Earth Day

Originally proposed as “a day to honor the earth and the concept of peace,” Earth Day serves as a reminder to take the time to appreciate what we have and to identify what we can do to be kind stewards of our home. Our planet, where we live, eat, love, and play, provides us with everything we need to exist. The effects of climate change need our efforts more than ever to preserve what we have and restore what we can. We can do simple things in our day-to-day lives (such as lowering the heat), but more importantly, we must determine how we can have a real effect.

A Look Back at 2021

A Lot Happened in 2021. Nasa landed a rover on Mars (again!), the climate change conference took place in Glasgow, and pictures of a chilly Bernie Sanders with giant mittens went viral. A lot happened at Gardyn too. We started the year with one Gardyn, a small team, and big dreams for the year ahead. Our community expanded to 11,200 Gardyners with memberships, sharing recipes, stories, plants they’ve grown, tales of their pets, children, and meals together. Small acts of care added beauty and intentionality throughout the day and changed the way we thought about time.
