Gardens Alive

Having grown up on a farm in 1950s rural Indiana, Niles Kinerk has loved gardening since his childhood. In the 1970s, he became increasingly aware of the hazards of chemical-based agriculture and began experimenting with new organic techniques. He soon realized that many other gardeners in the U.S. also craved natural, environmentally responsible products.In 1984, Kinerk decided to combine his passion for organic gardening with his years of experience in the direct mail industry to launch Gardens Alive! From its inception, the goal of Gardens Alive! has been to provide gardeners with environmentally responsible products that work!
