ABOUT US

We are GardenTronic!

She is an avid gardener and composter/photographer and he is a web developer/drone pilot -together we produce videos about gardening. We love gardening in the intermountain west, but it can be challenging. We want to inspire gardeners and provide a platform for local gardeners to share their garden successes. GardenTronic provides access to local businesses so your garden dreams can come true.

And, in case you were wondering -- Tronic means "Awesome". It comes from the 1980's movie "Tron", so GardenTronic literally means "Awesome Garden".
