Learn About Monster Gardens - Where Passion Meets Expertise

Monster Gardens started with a simple belief: every grower deserves to succeed. For over 15 years, Monster Gardens has been empowering gardeners across the country: from hobbyists nurturing their first seedlings to commercial operations cultivating at scale. Located in the heart of Sonoma County, California, we've built our reputation on expertise, quality products, and a commitment that goes beyond just selling supplies: 

The Monster Gardens Back Story: Roots in Real Growing

Monster Gardens' origins trace back to a team of passionate growers who saw a gap in the industry. Led by co-owners Jim Guttierrez and Heather Lott, we combined over 30 years of hands-on growing experience with a vision to create something different: a company that truly understands what growers need because we are growers ourselves.

Jim brought 20+ years of hydroponic expertise and an unconventional background (yes, he's a three-time Oakdale, California Cow Milking Champion), while Heather merged her 25 years of business acumen with her love for plants. Together, they built Monster Gardens into one of the largest hydroponic supply providers in the country, right here in the epicenter of the hydroponic industry.
