How it started

Our founder's vision for pure, simple accessible wellness

Our Story

BY GRACE MARTIN, EDENS GARDEN FOUNDER/CEO

"Edens Garden has come a long way since I started it at my home in 2009. As a women-led, family-owned and faith-based company, we've worked with passion and intention to help others find more goodness, selling millions of bottles of essential oils worldwide and giving back to charities making a difference. 

My journey with essential oils started years ago, while on a mission trip in New Zealand. I would explore the island, picking flowers and plants and pressing them in books to share with friends. Incredibly pure, clean, and fresh, I learned that essential oils offer that same refreshing and captivating experience of nature, and I again wanted to share that sense of calm. 

When I founded Edens Garden, I didn't have a big investor or huge staff but my goal was to share high-quality, affordable essential oils. The medicinal and healing qualities of essential oils can beautifully transform lives, and I wanted more people to be able to experience that.  

Providing affordable access to wholesome, safe and toxic-free aromatherapy options is my way of sharing my passion for nature with others. With humble gratitude, I am so proud of the values and integrity that Edens Garden holds. We don't compromise quality. We offer the best oils at accessible prices. We are transparent about our sourcing and process. We guide with education. We never take the shortcut.

Shortly after starting Edens Garden, my husband and I had a growing family at home (four kids in a few years) and I had a growing family at Edens Garden too. In the span of a few years, my small online business had grown to reach millions of people. For the first 10 years, the organic growth from happy customers was phenomenal. It humbled and amazed us to read stories about how Edens Garden impacted lives. 

That growth has allowed us to invest and innovate as a team, developing signature synergy blends, artisan-made diffusers, a handcrafted body care line, and calming home care products.  

At Edens Garden we believe essential oils unify the world. Each country has unique soil and climate conditions. Those conditions lead to unique oils native to the region. We bring the best oils from around the world together for our customers to enjoy. They bring us together in a beautiful, simple way.

I absolutely believe it is a blessing to give. Through our Seeds Of Goodness program, we give a percentage of our profits to organizations dedicated to making the world a healthier, happier place. We seek to pour out goodness in the same way as we have received it.

With a commitment to high standards and a passion for authenticity, my dream has grown in ways I never could have imagined. I am so grateful to have an incredible team that continues to innovate, educate, and foster a community around essential oils. 

For the gift that EG has been to me and my family, I hope it is a blessing beyond measure to you and many more. To our customers, I'd like to say "thank you". You are the heart of our Edens Garden family. You're why we work and strive to deliver the best nature has to offer. 

Blessings!

Giving back goodness

Acting as a force for good in our community and world is a fundamental part of Edens Garden's mission. Since our inception, we have sought to become more than just a business concerned with the bottom line. We’ve wanted to make a difference and impact lives. That’s why we started “Seeds of Goodness”, our internal give-back program. 

Our today affects our tomorrow and with that in mind, a percentage of all profits are given back to a variety of organizations that are doing their part to help build a better tomorrow.  As a company invested in the health of our communities and planet, we are continually looking for opportunities where we can lend a hand.
