About Us

We provide the plants. You grow the JOY.

The GrowJoy Plants Promise

We believe that the act of gardening grows joy. And that what you plant matters. We know that gardens can thrive without chemicals. It's all as close as your own backyard.

"Hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature."

It all started 15 years ago with a few (hundred) tomatoes. Our founder, Joe Stutzman, discovered the joys of growing his own vegetables and never looked back. We believe that given the right knowledge, anyone can grow. And we have the plants to get you started.

Grown in our own greenhouses

Our #1 priority at GrowJoy is the quality of our plants. We skillfully grow them in our own greenhouses (very close to Joe's first garden patch). Then, we carefully select plants for each and every order.

We trust the quality of our plants and we want you to as well. That's why we have a risk-free guarantee: If there is any problem with your order, contact us right away and we'll gladly take care of you and your plants.

It's time to get growing.

Meet Our Team

Joe Stutzman

Owner/President

Hi, my name is Joe Stutzman. I am the owner and president of GrowJoy. I started GrowJoy as an extension of my love for gardening. My goal was to grow healthy plants to help other people experience the same joy that I received. It has been my absolute pleasure to work with so many fine people over the years here at GrowJoy, including now my entire family.

When I am not working with plants, I enjoy spending time with my family and being a grandparent. I also enjoy spending time riding my motorcycle and watching my favorite teams play football and basketball.

My favorite plant is the Pineapple Tomato.

Chris Stutzman

COO/Marketing

Hi, my name is Chris Stutzman, I am the Chief Operations Officer here, and I joined GrowJoy in 2017. Before taking this role, I served many other roles inside GrowJoy, such as: Marketing Director, Operations Director, Customer Service Representative, label maker, and general gopher in my early days.

When I’m not at work I enjoy playing with my wife and dog, Slade, watching college football, cheering on the Hoosiers, and trying all kinds of different foods.

My favorite plant is the Barbara Karst Bougainvillea.

Tina Miller

Customer Service

Hi, my name is Tina Miller, and I am the Customer Service Manager at GrowJoy. Throughout the years I have done many different jobs at GrowJoy including anything customer service related, helping out on the site, packing and label maker. I enjoy working with customers the most though.

I have 4 small children and my life is filled with their problems and joys. I am very thankful to be able to work from home so I can still take care of them. I enjoy traveling with them and my husband. I also love watching pretty much any form of football from the high school level to the NFL

Stefni Childs

Inventory Controller

I’m Stefni Childs and am the Inventory Controller at GrowJoy. I started working at GrowJoy again in August of 2021 part-time and then started working full time in January of 2022. Prior to this I spent nine years teaching high school social studies, mainly economics and government to juniors and seniors.

While I loved teaching, I was looking for a job that would allow me to be home with my kids more, GrowJoy allows for that and I get to work with my family again. I’ve worked for GrowJoy prior to this, actually was with the company when it was started as Garden Harvest Supply, and have done pretty much every job

My favorite plant is the Silver Falls Dichondra.
