Kia ora, I’m Bevan, and I wanted to share why GrowBox exists.
Life was busy. My wife and I were both working full-time, trying to stay connected with friends, raising kids—and our garden was a mess. We were constantly reactionary: no time for planning crop rotations, making compost, or planting regularly.
I grew up gardening with my parents, learned from my grandparents, and devoured every book I could find. Even then, there still wasn’t enough time to plan, garden, learn, and keep it all going. The little windows I had for gardening were eaten up by long, expensive trips to the store. It was a frustrating cycle: garden struggling → rush to the store → buy too much → plant half → store half → forget for months → end up with a glut of 12 heads of broccoli in a weekend.
I started GrowBox to change that. To make growing food easy, consistent, and genuinely enjoyable. So kids can see where food comes from and taste it. So we can feel that simple, satisfying sense of achievement: dirt under our nails, fresh food in our hands.
I love growing food. It’s me joy, frustration, calm and adventure. I’ve played with my kids and provided food for my friends. I want to make that accessible to everyone. I left my job and dedicated myself to this so you don’t have to.
Get out there—and grow!
