Heaven in Earth is a unique garden and homeware shop for discerning gardeners that is run by Jocelyn and Justin Van Hoven. Realising a gap in the market for traditional garden products and quality items not produced on mass in Asia, we began sourcing and learning.

We initially started Heaven in Earth to satisfy our desire for quality garden accessories previously only available from Europe. Another aim was to ensure a high content of Australian made products.

In our seventh year, many of our products are made using either a renewable source or from companies with a similar philosophy to ours. Products are sourced from Europe including England, France and Germany, with other items hand made in Australia. Heaven in Earth sponsors our local Landcare Group which assists in maintaining and regenerating natural bush on the NSW south coast. 

Previously, Jocelyn ran a garden maintenance and design business in Sydney, and Justin had (and still has, now on the South Coast) an excellent tree surgery business. Both being horticulturists, we adore plants, outdoors and the health and joys that goes along with working outside.

We started Heaven in Earth after the birth of our son, Scott, and we moved to nine acres on the South Coast, NSW. Here we produce many items found in our catalogue. Other products are made by local people or sourced from Australian makers.

We are also importing many items from England and France, including the products from companies we represent, Nutscene, Creamore Mill and Carrier Company. We have added Sneeboer to our distribution family about the same time our son Sean was born in 2009. In 2010 we introduced the fine art of Penkridge Ceramics.
