Our Mission

To co-create diverse, abundant ecosystems that care for people and the environment.

Dearest Community,

We are heartbroken to announce the loss of Earth Care’s founder Jesse Grimes. His community is in shock and we are attempting to connect those doing great work to keep the vision going.

There are memorials and benches going up all over the city, he was so loved and will be missed deeply. Here is his story, written by his Mom and sister https://earthfuneral.com/obituary/jesse-grimes-02042025/

His sister Chelsea is continuing to do the design work under her company Sweetgrass Gardens

Please contact her to get connected with the talented team of Earth Care to get your projects done.
