Kitchen Gardens
A kitchen garden is filled with herbs you like to cook and season with. It can also include medicinal herbs like comfrey, chamomile and arnica. In pots, beds or in the earth, kitchen gardens are usually designed close to the house for easy access. We can help you design the garden that speaks to your tastebuds and your healing needs.

Raised Beds and Pots
Raised beds are great for ease of reach, soil control and minimization of unwanted plants. And they are just plain beautiful.
Gardening in pots can complement your beds or give you many choices if you are an urban gardener, a renter or living in a small space, Most vegetables, fruits and herbs happily grow in pots.
