“You can spend your whole life searching for the Garden of Eden or you can create it in your own backyard” – Khang Kijarro Nguyen

That quote sums up what we do – Creating sanctuary in your private space. Our concentration is on soil health.

By utilizing practices of the Soil Food Web and Permiculture design, a holistic, regenerative garden can be achieved even if it has been under the siege of chemical gardening for years.

Our expertise in low water use plant combinations and irrigation enables you to have a vibrant and lasting garden that will feed your biome.

Jessica Thompson is the Owner of Green Goddess Gardens, Inc.

She graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1988 with a degree in Horticulture, received her Landscape contractors license in 1989, earned a certificate in Permiculture design in 2000, earned a certificate of the Microbiology and Composting courses from the Soil Food Web, and has won Best of Ojai Valley Landscape Co in 2014, 2017, 2019 and 2020.

She founded Green Goddess Gardens Inc. in 1993 and continues to enhance the Ojai valley and surrounding cities with her devotion to a healthier world.

“I Love Ojai. I love the feeling I get the moment I enter the valley. Even after 30 years, that feeling of Love hasn’t changed. I try to evoke that same feeling in our landscapes. For me, gardening is a spiritual experience – making contact with the soil, recharging a calmer energy into your being, seeing the wildlife come back into your garden, smelling the scents of flowers & aromatic shrubs, hearing the movement of water, and you, connecting with yourself, once again. That is what we create – relationships – physically, spiritually, and emotionally. All we need is you.”    —  Jessica
