About Us
EzyVEGIES is a family business. In August 2008, the concept of EzyVEGIES evolved over the course of a family dinner. Three people with divergent skills, qualifications and experience found a unique area of overlap – organic gardening, education and teaching. We’ve since designed and patented an innovative garden system and developed a range of education and service programs to help people grow their own organic vegetables.
