Our Story
When Ode To Gardening was founded in 2022 by experienced gardener Ursula Carson, her goal was simple – celebrate gardening and make it as accessible to others as possible. She wanted to create a website with all the gardening information and inspiration one would ever need. “It starts as a passion project, but in the near future I’m hopeful we can build it into something truly extraordinary,” Ursula said when the site was launched. “I’m grateful the technology is available that allows us to share our love of gardening with the world.”
Since then, the team has been growing with like-minded gardeners and content staff who share Ursula’s enthusiasm to make OdeToGardening.com a favourite among gardeners everywhere.
