House of the Great Gardener is based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, where Mat has been gardening for almost 20 years.

He began working with the Vancouver Island Compassionate Society in 2002, was charged with cultivation and trafficking in 2006 and was acquitted in 2009 when the judge determined that Mat was an expert in his field and that the Canadian medical system was deficient.

House of the Great Gardener launched in 2011 with their finest selection of cultivars. Since then, they have won over 50 international awards, created a solid high CBD line-up including Highlo (a high CBD, very low THC strain) and the multi-award winning hash strain Barbara Bud, known worldwide for producing a ton of quality terpene-rich resin.

Mat, the breeder, has been working on our genetic line for over 25 years and has created several varieties that tick all the boxes (Barbara Bud, for example!). In addition to our own creations, we also make available feminized seeds of some of the super-special varieties that have come our way. With over 50 international awards, we must be doing something right!
