Our story

Hi, I am Kitty, the mother of two beautiful kids and the wife of a very supportive husband. We started this journey of sharing a healthier and more sustainable way of life from 2020 during the time of COVID-19. Our mission is to promote eating healthy, using healthy and living healthy.

Gardening has been always my passion, which I think originates from growing up in a farming family. When I was little, I followed my grandma every day after school, helping out in the farm like getting the compost to the vegetable farm and getting buckets of water from the creek, harvesting, etc. I enjoyed being around the nature and loved the organic food. That happy memory stays deep down in my heart and continues into my adulthood. However, I was an accountant, never had enough time to indulge myself in growing vegetables, until two years ago, 26 Aug 2018, to be exact, I was diagnosed breast cancer, followed by a whole different journey of surgeries, treatments and ongoing medication. Life has changed, my world was totally slow down……but in a good way! Instead of going back to the same career, I decided to make a change, to follow my passion. My hubby Joe was very supportive, he teamed up with some good friends and built four raised garden beds for me to start. We named this garden ‘K’s for Kitty’. Since then, I have been spending a lot of time to enjoy my gardening.

After a year's success in growing our organic vegetables, our knowledge and confidence had increased. We started to plan about having our garden more useful and sustainable. After some research and landscape planning, we chose bay leaf trees for our garden hedge instead of English Boxes or other shrubs. We also potted some lemongrass, olive trees, lemon, lime and Kaffie lime, rosemary, etc . Furthermore, we put in a few rows of English lavender in order to keep the sand flies and insects away... All came from hard work, our garden has been thriving! We were not only having our own organic veggies, but also having fruits and cut flowers. We believe eating organic is important to maintain a healthy life, same as using natural and organic products. So, I started to make soaps, using the ingredients I could get from my garden like bay leaf, rosemary, English Lavender, etc. My family loved using my soaps, and I shared with friends and neighbors, and some ended up asking more. One of my friends said my soaps actually helped their teenager kids’ rashes. That's how I gained confidence to use my garden produce to make some healthy nautural products and pass the benefit to more people . To make our products more unique and our garden more sustainable, we invested a distiller. Since then, we made our own essential oil and hydrosol, not only benefit for my family use, but also, we used them in my current products soaps and bath bombs, and I am also exploring in other skin care and household products using our garden produce like hand wash, moisturizer, kitchen and window cleaning spray, etc. They are made from fresh and all ingredients are premium quality and vegan friendly. My garden is just a normal suburban garden size and after putting our efforts and energy in, it is amazing to see how productive it has been and how much benefit it can offer . Our goal is to optimize my garden produce to promote a healthy living life and hopefully can inspire more people to do so.
