“CYLA Design Associates had the pleasure to work with Deep Roots Project on a client’s garden in Oak Park. The house is an early house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The clients were very hands-on and wanted a vegetable garden to raise tomatoes and other veggies. In our garden plan we designed a small rectangular space for two raised container beds. We were very happy to partner with Deep Roots and benefit from their expertise with wood construction and proper soils. The finished raised wood beds with Deep Roots-produced soil are very sturdy and handsome, and the clients are delighted. This season their tomato plants are happily flourishing in the new beds.” – Karen Heller, Senior Associate, CYLA Design Associates, Inc., Landscape Architecture & Planning, Oak Park, IL

One reason many people love kitchen gardening is because you get to eat things you would never find at the store, because many foods wouldn’t survive the journey from farms to the shelves. Fresh, uncured garlic is on that list, not to mention g
