Welcome to The Votana Garden! We’re a family on a mission to live more intentionally, affordably, and sustainably by growing as much as we can in the space we have.

What started as a desire to reconnect with where our food comes from has grown into a lifestyle rooted in purpose. We grow vegetables, flowers, and cannabis in a small space, using methods that work for our home, budget, and values. Along the way, we’ve found joy not only in the harvests but in the process—learning, experimenting, and working together as a family.

Through The Votana Garden, we share what we’re learning: our planting methods, our harvests, our foraging adventures, and the everyday choices we make to live more sustainably. Whether you're gardening on a balcony, in a backyard, or just dreaming of starting your first seeds, we hope our journey inspires you to start wherever you are.
