About The 5-Minute Garden
Our mission to make gardening accessible to everyone
Our Story
The 5-Minute Garden began with a simple observation: while everyone seemed to want to grow their own food, most people believed they didn't have enough time, space, or knowledge to succeed.
Our founder, Sarah Greenfield, started experimenting with small-space gardening techniques after moving to the city and finding herself with just a tiny balcony. Through years of trial, error, and research, she developed a system that could produce surprising amounts of food in minimal space with just minutes of daily care.
What started as a personal project soon attracted attention from friends, then neighbors, and eventually grew into a movement of urban gardeners achieving food independence.
