This is What We Do
31 Eden is a garden consulting and installation company. We began as a coaching company that helped our clients transition to a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, encouraging them to garden as well.
After months of contemplating on the company's direction, NaTasha decided to take the plunge and redirect the company as an official gardening business.
Gardening has had a reputation for being a hard and dirty job. But at 31 Eden, we want to change that by introducing the modern way, and to help every one have their own garden. We design, install, and plant gardens for our client. Then coach them through the entire garden season to eliminate the confusion and overwhelm of gardening.
Those who work with 31 Eden come to us with little to no knowledge of gardening, and finish the growing season as confident gardeners.
