History
Scott MacGowan began this business with a focus on helping people create beautiful gardens and patios using recycled materials, and give them a boost in getting started with their own edible gardens. In 2015, Scott handed the business to John Coghlan, who had been his lead and designer for several years. HGO is a company that embraces creativity, seeks to empower and train its workers, and contribute towards a more sustainable future.
