My Story

Hello Everyone! My name is Ray Deschler, founder and owner of Groundswell Garden Co. I am a lifelong gardener, environmental scientist, and community planner on a mission to help others grow their own food and create beautiful and ecologically beneficial spaces.

I am a firm believer in the positive and tangible impacts that gardening can have on people, communities, and nature when done the right way. I started Groundswell to share my passion for gardening with others and to help build a healthier and more resilient community one garden at a time.
