Leroy Karper

Leroy Karper grew up in lush New England, where his family ran a small organic farm. From an early age, Leroy was fascinated by the rhythms of nature and the satisfaction of growing his own food. His childhood was filled with days spent in the garden, learning the secrets of the earth from his parents and experimenting with different growing techniques. After graduating in Environmental Science, Leroy worked for several years as an agricultural consultant, helping small farmers and gardeners to optimise their crops with ecological methods. His work has taken him all over the United States, from the fertile fields of the Midwest to the arid landscapes of the Southwest, where he has developed innovative solutions to combat difficult growing conditions. One of his most memorable projects was transforming a community garden into an urban neighbourhood, providing residents with fresh, organic produce and fostering a sense of community. Leroy's passion for gardening goes beyond professional boundaries. As a father of three, he has instilled in them the values of sustainability and self-sufficiency, teaching them the joys of planting, growing and harvesting their own food. His home garden is a testament to his dedication, a vibrant oasis that serves as a living classroom for his family and neighbours.
