Honoring the Earth.

We don’t use anything in our organic garden maintenance that a two-year-old couldn’t accidentally swallow safely. By utilizing all-organic pest management and growing practices, we’re honoring the earth and promising you a healthy garden for years to come.

Supporting C-Bus.

We know we’re only as strong as our communities. That’s why we partner closely with local businesses in central Ohio and nearly all of our products we use to create our gardens come directly from local businesses.

Get Growing

Hey! I’m Katie, owner and founder of Columbus Foodscapes.

I’m a certified Permaculture Designer, Master Gardener, Master Urban Farmer, garden educator, and a mama to the sweetest doggy ever. I have grown food on half-a-dozen different farms and large gardening projects, including rural farms, edible schoolyard projects, urban gardens in food deserts, and organic production farms.

I started Columbus Foodscapes after seeing how many of my community members desperately wanted to garden, but came back from their local garden center with their heads spinning. My life’s work is to help folks grow their own fresh, delicious fruits and vegetables close to home, in any space, and at any level of experience.

I’ve done it all — grown food in recycled pantyhose, 5-gallon buckets, cleaned-out kitty litter containers, toilet paper tubes, and in raised beds made from bricks that I scavenged from abandoned worksites — and I’m here to make sure you don’t have to do all that just to grow delicious food! These days I garden in my urban plot on the east side of C-bus, where I maintain raised beds, hügel mounds, garden rows, and more.

I’m so excited to help you create your own organic Foodscape close-to-home and I can’t wait to grow with you!
