Who we are

Stefan founded this company in 2025. After spending almost 2 decades in business and management consulting roles he decided it was time to go back to his roots! His rich love of edible gardens stems from family heritage of growing up in 1980s Germany where his family grew all the food they ate in the year. Fruit trees, garden plots and integrated blooming gardens were a way of life and increasing quality as well. He loves all things farm to table and has an insatiable interest in how to build regenerative, sustainable gardens that create curiosity and feed you too!

At Blue Catalpa we are dedicated to help you garden, with a strong focus on producing healthy food. It’s important for us to get you excited for more than just veggies – adding balance with herbs, berries and fruit trees. We start with an efficient setup that helps you to spend the main effort once; and then to enjoy the benefits for many years to come. We help with design, installation and maintaining your beautiful, productive and edible landscapes – rounded up with flowers that build pest reduction, beauty and pollinator habitat.

We serve Greenwood, SC and the nearby proximity.
