Laura DiPasquale, a lifelong gardener, founded Thryve Garden with the dream of bringing her passion for fresh, healthy, home grown herbs, fruits and vegetables to families and like minded enthusiasts in  NYC and beyond.   Even within the urban jungle of NYC where she’s been based for over 10 years, Laura found spaces to cultivate food bearing plants on fire escapes and stoops, in urban yards and community garden plots.

Laura has studied farming with the Farm School NYC, biointensive mini farming with John Jeavons, a leader in Biointensive gardening and is a certified Gardenary Consultant. 

Laura graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, and holds an Masters Degree in Public Health Nutrition from CUNY School of Public Health.

She loves gardening with her three children, community members, and friends, and dreams to share the magic of growing plants from seed to plate and the love of fresh and delicious vegetables with the people of NYC and beyond.
