What is economic gardening? Economic Gardening® is the oldest and best-tested entrepreneurial economic development program in the country. In 1987, Chris Gibbons and Jim Woods brainstormed a groundbreaking idea: develop an entrepreneurial approach to economic development. At the time, the standard practice was to recruit companies from other communities (economic hunting). The unconventional thesis suggested that economic developers could stay at home and help local entrepreneurs grow their companies (economic gardening).
