I'm from Vermont, the tiny New England state known for cows, mountains... and Ben & Jerry's.
After college I was working as an architect, drafting blueprints for sustainable buildings. One summer I was farm-sitting for a co-worker, and while harvesting dinner from his massive garden I noticed the organized rows of plants, and had my AHA moment:
"Why don't I build blueprints for gardens!?"
The idea was simple; design a product that made it ridiculously easy to plant a garden quickly, where every seed would be spaced perfectly, companion plants would be grown together, and you wouldn't need to spay herbicides or pull weeds!
We launched on Kickstarter, blew past our goal, received national press coverage which caught the eye of Home Depot buyers, which in turn caught the eye of Shark Tank producers!
Within 12 months of launching our Kickstarter campaign we had products on the shelves of Home Depot and were in Hollywood pitching to the Sharks!!
Most Americans are familiar with the experience of over-paying at a grocery store for expensive "fresh" herbs, only to see them wilt and turn moldy in your fridge. You might get one or two meals before they turn, but soon you're left with soggy, spoiled herbs and a clamshell package entering the waste stream.
The amazing thing about gardens, especially leafy salad greens and culinary herbs, is that if you harvest them correctly they will KEEP GROWING! So if you harvest the plant consistently you actually stimulate continued growth and you'll get even more delicious fresh food!
Seedsheet is a garden that grows itself, It's like printing money!
People love the Seedsheet Herb Garden, and if you also like the idea of impressing your friends (and your taste buds) with home-grown herbs, you will too!
The Seedsheet Herb Garden is a small, plantable sheet of dissolvable seed pods embedded in a weed-blocking fabric. Each pod includes Organic and Non-GMO seeds to grow the most delicious herbs ever!
But that's just what's under the hood! On top of our Patented Seedsheet technology, we also include all of the other elements you'll need to start your first (or fortieth) garden! Things like:

It couldn't be easier to use - all you do is expand the soil in the container, place the Seedsheet on top, send a quick text to your garden, and then add water and follow the directions that are sent!
Our software tracks your garden's growth, and sends tips and video tutorials to ensure your plants thrive, and to help you grow your gardening skills!
