About Cole Compton, owner of Green Earth Terrariums
Cole Compton is a young entrepreneur who started his terrarium business, Green Earth Terrariums, as a freshman in high school. His passion for bringing the joy of gardening to any backyard or house are displayed beautifully in his visually stunning, low maintenance terrariums.At an early age Cole began to research urban farming, including raising poultry and organic farming. Cole is a student at New Horizons Charter School. He is part of incredible school initiatives that are reaching urban areas that may not otherwise be able to experience the benefits of gardens.
Cole is employed by We Grow Green, a non-profit with a vision to help teens transition into leaders through life experiences. He is also employed at Weber’s Greenhouse where he is fortunate to have discovered mentorship and partnership with the owner of the greenhouse.
Cole was recently featured in a radio broadcast on WUWM public radio for his involvement in showcasing his terrariums at a Sustainability Summit. In the interview, Cole took the risk to speak openly about his learning disability. Cole wanted to give hope to others that struggle with reading and writing. “Every day can be a challenge when you learn differently. I try to approach each struggle as an opportunity to learn from it. When you have dyslexia, you have to work extra hard to find your strengths,” says Cole.
