The Gardens Alive!™ Story
Environmentally Responsible Products That Work
Gardens Alive! is one of the country's leading
mail order companies dedicated to biological
control of garden pests. Sales are nationwide
and the company traces its roots back to the
early 1980's and the kitchen and garage of
founder and President, Niles Kinerk.
"Environmentalism wasn't a dirty word when I
was growing up on the family farm in Yoder,
Indiana. For all intents and purposes, it
wasn't a word at all. This was back in the
1950s, in a kind of Lassie-come-home rural
America. And though I was growing up in a
typical, self-sufficient family farm rather
than a corporate-owned agricultural business,
we used all of the new miracle pesticides that
the so-called "green revolution" had to offer.
Fact is, we felt sorry for our neighbors who
hadn't yet been so enlightened.
