Rooted in Growth: The Blossoming Journey of You Are a Gardener®

Seven years ago, the You Are a Gardener® seed was planted to help Anna and Aidan, who were just 5 and 7 at the time, in discovering healthy methods to manage stress while maintaining a calm, joyful, and grateful mindset. Our idea quickly took root, and the positive impact of You Are a Gardener® on our daily lives inspired us to self-publish our book and engage with children, families and educators through educational programs and assemblies.


Gardener Anna and Gardener Aidan have experienced tremendous growth alongside our company over the years. From filming countless episodes of Hello Gardeners® to participating in community engagement projects, creating numerous crafts and content, and traveling to schools for our assemblies, their dedication and connection to You Are a Gardener® is rooted in everything we do.

Their journey has been a testament to the power of cultivating emotional resilience and positivity from a young age. As they continue to grow, Gardener Anna and Gardener Aidan embody the values of empathy, kindness, and gratitude that are at the heart of You Are a Gardener®. Their involvement not only enriches our programs but also inspires their peers to embrace these essential life skills. Together, we remain committed to spreading the seeds of emotional empowerment, ensuring that gardeners of all ages understand how to navigate life's challenges with grace and confidence.
