Good Dirt
When we saw the beautiful watercolor packaging on a plant-based Instagram feed we were intrigued. We had to know more. What is Good Dirt, we wondered.
After a little searching, we found the small company run by Suzy and Al Newsom, and the more we read, the more we felt their products belong in our shop! The family of hobbyist gardeners, with a professional horticulturalist behind the helm (Al Newsom), created this product to be an environmentally cleaner option that really works. Other products the Newsoms tried fell short, achieving sustainability, but at the expense of superior performance.
The Model
The Good Dirt model is threefold: “Simple, Successful, and Sustainable.” Their products are simple in the sense that they cater to novice and expert gardeners alike. They’re sustainable because they are completely non-toxic, use the recycled by-product “bogbits,” and operate out of a “zero-waste discharge manufacturing facility.” Finally, these products are successful simply because they really work.
We immediately felt that Good Dirt would be a good fit for the Retreat brand. Here at Retreat, we are all about finding good quality, beautiful products that work for you. After all, why can’t you have a hard-working product that is simultaneously beautiful, and makes you excited about gardening? We think you can!
That is why we are excited to be offering you this product, and hope you give Good Dirt a try.
