At Blissful Growing, we make growing your own food simple and enjoyable. Our mission is to inspire healthier, more sustainable living—one household at a time—with beautiful, enjoyable, accessible kitchen gardens.

Hi! My name is Catharina, but my friends call me Kat. I live in Los Angeles with my husband and twelve hens. After 20 years as a designer, I traded my desktop position to spend 12 years in the fitness industry coaching and sharing tips on fitness and living healthy.

Gardening was always a hobby, until 2020, the pandemic shifted my focus from fitness to full-time gardening. My husband, ever supportive, built me a planter to grow salads. I never expected it to be a hit when I shared it on social media! Friends wanted to buy the planter and sought my advice on growing herbs and vegetables.

In 2021, I changed gear from fitness and launched Blissful Growing - a kitchen garden consulting company. It’s the same passion I have for healthy living, only a different approach.

My motto is simple: Growing food. Made simple.
My mission: Helping households live healthier, more sustainable lives by teaching them to grow organic vegetable gardens, whether indoors or outdoors.

I know I am not the only one concern about the food we put in our body. Like what I always say as a fitness coach: “We are what we eat.” Growing your own food is one way of knowing the quality of food you put into your body. Now as a garden consultant, I ask, “Are you ready to grow your own food?” Let’s talk! 🌱
