The Team
Peter S. Volz
Peter Volz grew up in the 1950’s in a small Ohio town. His grandmother, the neighbors and just about everybody in town gardened and grew vegetables and flowers. One of his first memories is making his next door neighbor’s large tomato patch into a "castle."
At the age of ten, Peter moved with his family to Laguna Beach, California, where the family garden featured avocado, tangerine and grapefruit trees, as well as year-round vegetables, a bamboo forest and abundant flowers.
In his early twenties Peter started an alfalfa sprout operation, with distribution up and down the West Coast. In the mid-70’s Peter grew vegetables in a large hobby garden at a Buddhist community in Mendocino County, California.
In 1977, Peter moved to Boulder, where he was intimidated for several years by the wild climate and challenging soils of the area. After some trial and error, he gardened for many years at the Boulder community gardens on Hawthorn Ave, in North Boulder.
After serving for nine years as the director for international education at Naropa University, Peter started Oxford Gardens in 2006.
