Welcome to Hortiki Plants: Where Every Seed Sprouts Love
A Message from Our Founder, Dr. Victoria LeBeaux
Hi and thank you so much for visiting! I’m Dr. Victoria LeBeaux, and I am the proud Founder of Hortiki Plants.
I officially created Hortiki Plants in 2017 with a singular, powerful mission: to make sustainable gardening simple, accessible, and fun for everyone.
My journey to founding Hortiki wasn’t a short one. I’ve dedicated almost 20 years of my professional life to the field of agriculture, working at the intersection of science and sustainability. Yet, even with this deep, insider knowledge, I continually found myself struggling to find truly plastic and chemical-free gardening supplies. The frustration was real, and I knew I couldn’t be the only one facing this barrier.
That realization ignited the spark for Hortiki Plants. I envisioned a company that removes the guesswork from earth-friendly gardening. Today, I am incredibly proud to say that we are succeeding in our goal—making sustainable gardening not just achievable, but a genuine joy for people of all ages and experience levels.
On this page, you’ll learn more about the three pillars of our mission—how Hortiki Plants strives to Plant Love in all that we do. 🌿💚
Thank you so much for being here and joining our growing community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else you’d like to know.
HORTIKI LOVES LITTLE GARDENERS: Cultivating the Next Generation
We believe that every child deserves the profound joy and wonder of growing their own garden. Introducing children to gardening is more than just a hobby—it’s an investment in their future.
That’s why our signature eco-friendly kids’ garden kits are designed to make it easy for young gardeners to plant, learn, and thrive, regardless of their space (from windowsills to schoolyards) or experience level.
Education Meets Exploration
At Hortiki Plants, we offer much more than just a box of supplies. Our products are rooted in science and structured for learning. We provide:
- STEM-based learning resources to connect hands-on gardening with core scientific concepts.
- Fun, engaging activities that encourage natural curiosity and critical thinking.
- Educator-friendly tools including classroom-ready guides, science-packed blogs, and instructional videos to support every step of the gardening journey for parents and teachers alike.
Our kids garden kits are proud to be STEM.ORG Authenticated Educational Products, ensuring they meet the highest standards for quality STEM instruction.
Let’s grow together and watch your child’s confidence bloom!
HORTIKI LOVES THE PLANET: Sustainable Sourcing is Our Promise
We understand you are committed to gardening in an earth-friendly way, but finding the right, truly sustainable materials can be a constant struggle. We take that burden off your shoulders.
My commitment to you, forged by years of agricultural expertise, is to relentlessly source the most eco-friendly materials I can find. Sustainability is not a trend for us; it is the foundation of our entire supply chain.
This commitment means:
- Minimal Plastic Use: We actively eliminate plastic from our kits whenever a viable, sustainable alternative exists.
- Plant-Based Materials: Prioritizing materials derived from plants and other naturally renewable sources.
- Recycled & Recyclable: Packaging made from recycled materials, and printing done on recycled papers using vegetable-based inks.
- Local & Trustworthy Sourcing: Sourcing locally whenever possible to reduce our carbon footprint, and partnering only with organizations that share our values of transparency and ecological stewardship.
We are a business with Climate Friendly Practices, constantly striving to ensure our operations have a positive impact on the environment.
