Grow Greenfingers credo is

“Growing Plants and People in the Garden—For Good.”

This means we focus on guiding our clients step-by-step in growing their own

fresh, organic produce in urban and suburban back or front yards!

But for us, it’s not just about delicious, healthy food (though we love that part!).

We believe in sharing the healing power of gardening for body, mind, and spirit, too.

In our modern, fast-paced lives, people have become increasingly disconnected from nature, themselves, and each other.

Our goal is to provide tangible skills and essential knowledge

for cultivating and maintaining edible gardens, so we can also foster mindfulness and connection.

Together, we can learn to work in partnership with the Earth, appreciate our natural resources,

develop a diverse ecosystem, and create a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Hey y'all! I'm Erin Greenfingers

You might be wondering why I'm qualified to help you grow your own veggies and fruit or even build a business in edible landscaping

(aka foodscapes)? Let's take a trip down my memory lane!

My Bavarian ancestors brought their farming knowledge and traditions with them as immigrants to Louisiana in the 19th century, and those lessons lived on in my family's gardens for generations, until they disappeared.

As a child, I played among my mom’s and grandma’s gardens, but they never grew their own food. I never knew how food got to my plate and I never questioned it. I was a 90's latchkey kid, that thought veggies *actually * came from cans!

Honestly, I was over-fed, and undernourished by processed food most of my life. The legacy of my family roots were dying, until I decided to take my health into my own hands. The edible gardening tradition was lost somewhere in generational exchange, but not forgotten.

It was after I experienced the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, that I understood my connection to the Earth and the power of a local food system! That traumatic time led to a mindset shift and compelled me to focus on plants and people in college.

I founded the first Campus Community Garden to study, learn, and engage with others in growing our own food. In the process, the garden grew me and my future career in horticulture!

As a consultant, coach, and master garden manager throughout the New Orleans metro area for the past 10 years, I'm not just playing in the dirt, I'm teaching families to reconnect to their tangible skills. Beside business, I volunteer for green initiatives as a
Louisiana Master Gardener and am a Certified Gardenary Consultant and most of all - the proud owner of

Grow Greenfingers Edible Gardens.
