Meet the Rankins.
For many years, Gardening Revolution has been changing the way people garden all across the country. Originally owned and operated by Len Pense of Strafford, Missouri, the company’s weed-free, soil-less growing system has inspired gardeners to think (and plant) outside the rows.
Today, Gardening Revolution has moved and changed their name Garden 4 Life, but its mission remains the same. “Garden 4 Life ties in perfectly with our goal of helping families live healthier, more fulfilled lives,”
- Curt Rankin
In late 2017 the Rankins from Lebanon, Missouri continued Len’s passion for a better way to garden. Curt and his wife, Dawn – along with their son, Chais, and his family – purchased the business from Len after trying to the system out for themselves.
Who are the Rankins
Curt and Dawn Rankin are lifelong Entrepreneurs who love small business and the unique opportunities they provide to grow professionally and personally. Curt received a bachelor’s degree in Agronomy which led him to work as a crop consultant and natural resource specialist for several years. Curt later joined his family in starting a successful specialty welding company. Dawn pursued her interests in accounting and real estate while raising and homeschooling their two children. She has played a vital role in creating and maintaining the family business interest. Today Curt and Dawn are proud to be helping other families grow their potential through Garden4Life and their other business.
Chais Rankin earned a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Business and Marketing from Missouri State university. After college he and his family returned to the family farm where they are adding their expertise to Garden4Life while continuing to expand their business interests. In true Entrepreneur fashion Chais is also a real estate broker, and part owner of a Missouri real estate team, while his wife Taressa is building a horse training business. They currently have two boys, Cuylar and Camden who enjoy helping out and working in the gardens and around the farm.
