Meet the Business Owner

Paul H.

Business Owner

Paul is an Oakland native and passionate about the dynamic Bay Area community. He started the eco-​conscious landscaping business ‘Harkness Gardens’ in 2009.

«We really want to contribute to the future of the Bay Area urban ecology. Its an exciting time — there is a lot of change and development going on locally in the commercial, industrial and residential. We are proud to be one of the many local eco-​inspired businesses striving to take part. If we are lucky, we may even influence in some small way the direction our community is taking.»
