We are home gardeners,
just like you.
The love of gardening has been passed down for generations in my family. I cherish memories of time spent in the garden with my grandparents, parents and now my own son(s). Our favorite pastime is “checking the garden” -a phrase used daily in our household. It is a moment of quiet to observe, to explore, and to troubleshoot, and most importantly a moment of grounding with the natural world. But as you know, our love for the garden is not unique, this is a thread that runs through each and every gardener.
Riley & Sons is the marriage of my professional background in product development in the fashion industry and my lifelong love for the garden. A quest for eco-friendly garden gloves sent me down a rabbit hole of research and left me short handed. Most gardening supplies are made from a combination of synthetics and plastics- whether of recycled origin or not, they were never going away at the end of their life. Why not make garden essentials with natural materials or those with a lower environmental impact? With this simple quest, the concept for Riley & Sons was born.
We are high quality garden essentials re-imagined in an earth friendly way. All products are created with a “supply chain first mentality” ensuring full transparency from the farm where our materials are grown all the way to the finished product in your hands. Our raw materials are thoughtfully sourced and certified and our products are manufactured by skilled tradespeople that are revered and rewarded for their excellence. We look forward to sharing more about this on our Sustainability page.
While our assortment is small, it is intentional. And you can expect that each product will be made with people and our planet in mind. From my family to yours, thank you for your support. We look forward to growing something beautiful with you!
