Business Spotlight: Grown Home Garden Solutions

Hello! My name is Matthew Abbott and I am the owner and Master Gardener with Grown Home Garden Solutions. Gardening has always been my passion, sprinkled in between getting a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies and a Master Gardener certification from the University of Alberta. Over the last 6 years, I have integrated these to get a deeper understanding of ecological connections, yards and how to enhance plants' appearance and resilience.

Grown Home was created for 2 reasons: Make gardening more accessible to individuals and empower people to build success through understanding.

We offer growing season support in the form of plant health and maintenance, as well as design, installation and consultation. We have products made from 3D printed, environmentally safe and sustainable bioplastics and growing options for indoor growers. Whatever solution you need, we meet you on your level to augment what you can do or take the stress out of your hands.

Okotoks offers an amazing diversity of microclimates, challenges and beauty. My fiancee and I chose Okotoks because it has an amazing community of people, a rich culture of events and a long-term focus to make Okotoks a thriving place to call home.
