Hi, I’m Dani Scannella. Owner of The Backyard Garden Co. in Cedar Grove, NJ.

I worked in marketing in the city for over a decade, and lived there for many years as well. My husband and I loved the restaurants and the farmer’s market, which became the highlight of our weekend routine. But ultimately the allure of our own garden (and a grill!) brought us back to Jersey almost 15 years ago. In 2023, I realized that helping others grow beautiful kitchen gardens was not only a possible career path - it was my dream job. I joined the Gardenary Consultant Certification program with Nicole Burke and started The Backyard Garden Co.

I believe there’s something magical and beautiful about growing your own organic food. At TBGCo, it’s my mission to share that joy with others. I meet clients where they’re at to nurture them through all stages of kitchen garden life. Whether you’re already on your journey or just at the beginning, TBGCo provides the support you and your kitchen garden need to thrive every day, season after season.

Let’s grow healthy food, beautifully. I’d love to help.

Dani Scannella
Owner, The Backyard Garden Co.
