Tom Scoble is the founder of Flowerbird and a lifelong cultivator with nearly 30 years of hands-on experience working with plants, soil, and sustainable growing practices. After building a career in landscape design and co-founding Pasadena’s longest-running CrossFit gym, Tom moved to Oregon’s Willamette Valley in 2015 to launch Mother Magnolia, one of the state’s pioneering plant medicine farms. There, on a 32-acre property, he began refining the soil blends and feeding systems that would eventually inspire the creation of Flowerbird.

Driven by a deep respect for the natural world and the growers who steward it, Tom developed Flowerbird’s formulas in collaboration with soil scientists, agronomists, and trusted suppliers. His goal: to create innovative, soil-first solutions that nourish microbial life, enhance nutrient uptake, and restore soil vitality—whether you're growing on a windowsill or running a full-scale farm.

Today, Tom continues to cultivate both plants and community through his YouTube channel, educational platforms, and the ever-growing Flowerbird ecosystem.
