Why Pomona?

Why Pomona?

It all started with a silly nickname my grandmother gave me. As these things go, that same nickname, Pomona, was bestowed upon my little girl when she made her world debut, but I never really thought anything more of it.

When brainstorming for a company name, Pomona kept coming to mind.  So, I did a little homework and found out that Pomona was actually a Roman goddess associated with fruitful abundance. Specifically, she was associated with the flourishing of trees, gardens and orchards- and the caring for their cultivation.

How does this relate to pants? After all, isn't this a more appropriate name for a landscaping company?  Well, I can think of no better blessing than that of fruitful abundance and responsible cultivation to bestow upon a little one or our environment.  For me it typifies how I feel responsible, sustainable businesses should be operated.

Many Project Pomona customers already make daily eco friendly choices that really do have a direct impact on their children and our Earth.  This nurturing ideal is passed on and exemplified to their little ones in the hope that through them, and subsequent generations, positive changes can be made.

The big idea behind Project Pomona is to produce a single item that can be used over and over; a handcrafted, practical and durable item that accommodates the crazy growth spurts of a small child and can then be passed on and used again.

I do hope that Project Pomona can find a place in your eco friendly lifestyle.
