I sincerely believe that gardening should be enjoyable. It’s a rewarding activity that challenges the body while nourishing the mind and soul.

Hi! My name is Catharina, but my friends call me Kat. I live in Los Angeles with my husband and our twelve hens. After spending 20 years working as a designer, I stepped away from my desk and into the fitness industry, where I spent the next 12 years coaching and sharing practical tips on movement, wellness, and healthy living.

Gardening was always a hobby—until 2020. During the pandemic, my focus naturally shifted from fitness to full-time gardening. My husband, ever supportive, built a planter so I could grow lettuces and herbs at home. I never expected it to take off when I shared it on social media! Friends began asking to buy the planter and sought my advice on growing their own herbs and vegetables.

In 2021, I launched Blissful Growing, a kitchen garden consulting company focused on organic vegetable gardening. For me, it’s the same passion for healthy living—just expressed in a different way.

My motto is simple: Growing food. Made simple.

My vision is for every household to understand the value of living healthier and more sustainably by growing their own food.

My mission is to coach people in growing vegetables at home, whether indoors or outdoors.

We are all concerned about the food we put into our bodies—after all, we are what we eat. Growing your own food is one of the simplest ways to truly know the quality of what you’re nourishing yourself with.

Now, as a garden consultant, I ask: Are you ready to grow your own food?
