Virtual Gardening Through StartOrganic’s Online Learning Center

Growing your own food is more important now than ever. We have developed hybrid in-person / online gardening programs to teach new audiences to grow their own food. We provide all the tools necessary to succeed in any garden setting.

Companies utilize our programs to engage employees, demonstrate wellness, and promote sustainability in the workplace.

Whether it’s a few tomatoes on the balcony or a 1/4 acre of sustainable garden space in the yard, we want to help everyone rely more on themselves and less on the grocery store.

  • Interactive webinars with StartOrganic Co-founders

  • Guest speakers and constant engagement throughout the month

  • DWY — Done WITH You, we provide all the help you need to grow your garden BEFORE you need it

Over 92% of participants describe positive lifestyle changes, stress reduction, and improved perception of employer.

Wellness, sustainability, Engagement

Having a garden gives me a place to connect with the earth and know I have somewhere to go where I can take a deep breathe and the stress melts away
— PayPal Employee

StartOrganic is currently working with PayPal, HPE, Intuit and other major corporations to provide on-campus & online gardening programs for employees.  Introducing organic vegetable gardening to these employees has fundamentally changed the work environment.  Employees are engaging stress-relieving and rewarding activities as a part of their daily routine.

Our team manages every aspect of the program from consulting services, recorded topic-specific courses, and regular online webinars.
