Who We Are

My name is Sean Trollinger, and I am the designer of The Garden of Ease gardening kits. I love the world of agriculture and growing fresh produce and flowers for myself. I don’t come from a farm family nor do I farm today. I first got involved with agriculture through school. It was there that I got my first taste of what it was like to plant a seed, nurture a fresh seedling, care for a growing plant, and reap a harvest. It’s a beautiful process, and I hope everyone gets to experience it at some point in their lives. After discovering my passion for agriculture, I decided to major in both Agricultural Science and Agricultural Business. In college, I met many students who had no idea where their food came from. They simply ate what was on their plate and never gave it another thought. While completing a project for one of my courses, I gave out a survey asking people why they don’t try growing gardens to provide fresh produce or flowers for themselves. The typical responses were, “it takes a lot of time and hard work” or “I always kill plants because I forget to water them.” I asked myself, “how can I make it easier for all individuals to grow a garden?” And with that, the idea for the Easy Garden Kit was born.
