Our story
OUR STORY
At Garden, we strive to create a simple life. Work, eat, play, sleep, and Snowboard. Through Snowboarding’s development, it feels as though it’s lost the element that drew us to it in the beginning. That organic component that was so effortless, free, and unconcerned with where it was going or how much money we could make off of it. We are lifers, knuckle draggers who have been flipping skiers the bird since the inception of sliding sideways. Here at Garden, we are planting seeds of innovation and expression to reconnect with our roots and deliver a new iteration of snowboarding to the community that, like us, isn’t interested in the rat race of Snowboarding’s present manifestation. At Garden, we offer the world a brand built on values, thoughtful manufacturing, and the simple pursuit of happiness through the act of riding a well-designed board, built with sustainability, community, and connectivity at its core.
Shape: In its infancy, Snowboarding drew inspiration from Skateboarding and Surfing to create this medium we love so much. At Garden, we acknowledge and honor snowboarding’s history, but we choose to design our boards through the lens of Snowboarding as its own entity. We’ve taken what we’ve learned over the past 30 years of dedicating our lives to snowboarding and the snowboarding industry to refine and apply this knowledge to what we think is a unique and fun iteration of the classic snowboard. Wide waist underfoot, deep sidecut and traditional camber are the most prominent characteristics on the boards within our collection.
Artwork: Snowboarding is more than just a sport, a hobby, or a fun thing to do with your friends. To many, it is a lifestyle, a passion, and a lifelong pursuit. Whatever Snowboarding means to you, it is unarguably a vehicle for expression, a sub-culture that serves as a powerful intersection between action, art, and music. We align with artists and creatives that share our values and vision. Enter B Line Dot, a friend, and incredibly gifted Seattle based street artist who has been pivotal in bringing our graphics to life in their own unique style.

Our Future: We believe in a world where Snowboarding is accessible, diverse, inclusive and sustainable. We strive to create a quality product that is affordable, but also to align ourselves with communities and organizations within our network supporting these values that we incorporate into everything we do. Everything begins with planting and nurturing one single seed. Garden is the means for us to use Snowboarding as a way to affect change within our community.

OUR PHILOSOPHY S.N.O.W
S Sustainability, focusing on building quality snowboards that can be recycled by many riders and used as art pieces. In addition, for every tree used to build the Ragamuff, two are planted.
N Nature, remembering we are stewards of our environment and do our best to improve our current surroundings both spiritually and physically.
O Organic growth, finding ways to influence word-of-mouth marketing through youth programs and helping those in need. Companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars paying influencers and fun packaging that gets thrown away and possibly not even recycled. We look for beneficial ways to reinvest into the community. Money well spent! We are too small to make a difference, but as we grow our goal is to give back to people and communities!
W Wild, stay wild in our designs and vision. Never think small, shoot for the stars, and live for today. Have hope in the unseen and chip away at it day by day and task by task always shooting for the stars!
