We do it all from design to a fully functional garden with the right fence for your area including drip systems and shade cloth to not only provide some shade but to slow the wind down and if needed for hail protection. Raised beds, bringing in quality soil and soil amending, soil testing, seed selection, planting tips & tricks, weed control, preventing weather challanges' such as hail damage, and organic insect control. Just about anything you can think of in gardens we can help you with.
It's easy and fun to grow your own food not to mention you wont believe just how good home grown food tastes compared to the grocery stores. A family of four can easily spend $300 or more per month on fresh vegetables. Seed cost for growing your own organic vegetables will cost you less than $50 for the entire year in most cases!
The picture below is showing some Butternut Squash, Bush Beans, and Acorn Squash plants. Along the fence is some Catmint and on the right is Rainbow Swiss Chard, also called Bright Lights. You will also see some Marigolds growing in the beds below which are just one of the many beneficial plants that help with insect and predator control.
Below is a very good Raspberry Patch. Notice the fence around the patch? Absolutely needed to keep the deer from playing havoc!
