Gardens Transform
We’re on a mission to bring cities to life and empower gardeners by creating vibrant, organic gardens for our clients to grow.
Our team is made up of skilled designers, fine gardeners and knowledgeable coaches who help our clients cultivate a deeper connection to the beauty, peace and nourishment found in the garden.
Our Values are Cultivated in the Garden
-
We work with nature, rather than trying to overcome it. We create space for habitat and humans. We work organically without chemicals or gas-powered tools, and look to natural systems for guidance. We respect all members of our community and contribute to healthy ecosystems.
-
Care is at the core of our business – for the gardens under our care, our clients, our team, our planet and ourselves. We work with integrity, we make space for meaningful connection and we show up for each other, rain or shine. Care nourishes.
-
We view constraint as an opportunity for creativity. We look to nature as a guide to problem solve. We work with the rhythm of life and encourage deep roots and adaptable gardens. We meet challenge with grace as we know it moves us closer to our nature.
-
Rather than seek perfection, we seek growth, and we believe the garden is the perfect medium. Within it, we empower clients and ourselves to experience the transformative act of planting a seed and finding meaning.
-
The garden is a container for us to be as we are in the moment. It is a sanctuary containing a rich tapestry of emotion, reflection and connection. The garden can bring us into flow, connection, and deep presence.
Meet Our Founder
Carissa Kasper
From traveler to gardener, Carissa understands intimately the power of becoming rooted in place. All of the wonder and beauty that she once sought in travel, she found within the garden. But in the garden, she found she was part of the growth and experience, rather than just a tourist. In the stillness, she found a path within herself for growth.
From her experience working at a Cree community garden in Saskatchewan to working in gardening businesses and teaching at community organizations in Vancouver, she witnessed this alchemy occur in many others when they first plant a seed. How their whole world can transform.
She founded Seed & Nourish to create spaces for others to grow because she believes the garden is the perfect medium. Seed & Nourish is a way of bringing cities to life, and creating gardens that bring our wildest dreams into focus.
