Kevin Espiritu
Urban gardener and founder of Epic Gardening in San Diego, CA
Kevin Espiritu is on a mission. He wants to teach people how to grow their own food, even if it’s just a couple of trays of microgreens at a time. To him, he’s simply sharing what he knows about growing plants. But to his followers and us at Timberland, he’s an inspiration for the future of gardening and a hero creating a greener world.
“
Even though we might live in cities, we are all still part of nature. If you are aware, you can make tiny choices that make a difference over time. Start buying food that you know was grown at local farms; stop using single-use plastics; and grow the herbs you use most right at home.
”
Kevin is based in San Diego, California, but his company Epic Gardening provides in-depth gardening articles, daily podcast episodes, and videos on YouTube, Instagram, and more. It’s a platform for sharing solutions and growing tips around the world. If he doesn’t have the answer, he’ll experiment until he finds it.
All season, we'll be featuring Heroes who've made a positive difference in the world - meet more Heroes here. Learn more about our commitment to the environment and our communities at our Responsibility Page.
