Planning Your Food Garden
Starting a food garden can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Although it takes planning and effort, the rewards are well worth it. You can enjoy fresh, delicious produce right from your own backyard. You also get to reap the benefits of physical activity and time spent outdoors.
Regenerative & Organic Farming
We combine the best practices of “Organic Gardening” and “Regenerative Farming” and apply them to small growing spaces and raised beds. The result is a robust and resilient gardening ecosystem that promotes soil and crop biodiversity.
Optimizing Sunlight
Sun exposure is one of the most important factors for a successful food garden. To find the best sun exposure for your garden, consider the orientation of the garden, the surrounding environment, and the amount of sun that your plants need to grow and produce.
