Overview
Garden Society is a women-led and owned cannabis brand that offers craft cannabis edibles and pre-rolls featuring sustainable ingredients, strain-specific cannabis, and responsible farming.
The Heritage
Garden Society was founded in Sonoma County by Erin Gore and Karli Warner in 2016, inspired by the desire to find holistic plant-based support from the rigors of daily life. Their vision blossomed into a company dedicated to guiding women toward unconventional paths for managing pain, anxiety, and stress, while embracing relaxation and joy through the cannabis plant. Garden Society’s goal is to help give women permission to explore a higher quality of life through safe and clean cannabis products that utilize sustainable ingredients and biodynamic farming.
Prior to founding Garden Society, Erin Gore and her husband Tom launched a successful wine brand with Constellation. At the same time, they aspired to start a family but were struggling with fertility. In an effort to improve her health and explore cannabis as a tool to achieve work-life balance, Erin and her friends threw a “high holiday baking party,” where they made edibles dosed using Erin’s expertise in chemistry. These parties flourished, and grew in popularity and enthusiasm, until one day Garden Society was born.
The Ethos
Garden Society is a benefit corporation with a purpose to promote the health and well-being of women through education and responsibly sourced products designed for women. Not your average cannabis company, Garden Society stands at the forefront of breaking stigma and redefining how women integrate cannabis into their daily lives to spark more joy, and discover relaxation, and attain balance. Garden Society is a diverse collective and sisterhood of women, girlfriends, wives, moms, sisters, bill-payers, breadwinners, caretakers and peacemakers who thoughtfully use cannabis to relieve stress and embrace their lives more fully.
The Products
Garden Society offers a variety of delightful products ranging from flower to pre-rolls to edibles, that are available in California and Ohio. Garden Society sources their California flower from independently owned farms in the iconic Sonoma and Mendocino Counties, using the power of full-spectrum cannabis for all of their craft-edible concoctions.
Garden Society’s Cannabis Infused Chocolates are available in a variety of flavors and contain local, fair-trade chocolate and sustainable ingredients. The Wine Country Gummies pair delectable fruity flavors with classic wine varietals and use proprietary, fast-acting technology that provide desired effects in around 15 minutes. Garden Society’s high quality cannabis flower is sungrown using biodynamic practices.
