🌿 Welcome to Doug Gardens! 🌿

At the heart of Doug Gardens are Stephanie and Lee Martineau, pioneers in the regenerative gardening movement. Transitioning from city life to first-generation regenerative farmers, their mission is to empower urban dwellers to cultivate vibrant, biodiverse soil ecosystems in their own backyards.

Our vision: to make regenerative agriculture accessible to everyone. It started with our comprehensive garden kits which featured 3X6 raised beds, enriched soil, compost, and irrigation systems, simplifying the process of growing nutrient-dense food at home.

Driven by innovation, we created Doug's signature organic soil-nourishing pellets, turning any soil into fertile ground rich in essential nutrients. Our season-specific Feel Good Fertilizers ensure your garden thrives year-round.

Doug Gardens is more than just a company—it's a community dedicated to restoring soil health and enhancing urban food production. Join us in cultivating change, one garden at a time.

ICYMI things are happening over here at Doug Gardens It's been a hot minute since we've been on here, but we've been working hard behind the scenes, evolving what Doug can do for your gardens.

Our mission at Doug Gardens remains steadfast: to provide backyard gardeners with the healthiest soil.

However, our approach has evolved. Rather than supplying healthy soil and compost, we now concentrate on transforming any soil into the best it can be using our regenerative, nature-based fertilizers. The ingredients in our Feel Good Fertilizer are more than just natural way to feed your soil—they are sustainably sourced and play an active role in regenerating our environment and your soil. This not only helps your garden thrive but also contributes to a healthier planet.

This is your sign to grow with us

You will receive a replica of a Doug delivery for under the tree! All garden deliveries will take place in May.

A friend of ours was wearing a t-shirt recently with a slogan on it that made us chuckle. In large, bold letters it read: “Soil is sick and tired of being treated like dirt”. We had to laugh, and his t-shirt was right. We really do treat our soil like dirt. And, we really need to start reshaping how we view and treat our soil!
