  • Edible Garden Coaching - Umbel Gardens

    1. Meet

    All of our gardens begin with a one-hour New Garden Consultation or Existing Garden Evaluation. Once we meet, we can draft a design and estimate customized to your space, goals, and budget.

  • 2. Make

    Once you’ve approved the garden design, our team will install a garden that is beautiful, productive, and works seamlessly with your existing space, or offer the support to help you install it yourself.

    Our one-on-one Garden Coaching sessions will give you great foundational knowledge to grow a bounty of organic food and help troubleshoot any setbacks along the way.

What is a Kitchen Garden?

A kitchen garden is a space to grow herbs, edible flowers, leafy greens, vegetables, and fruit for everyday use inside your kitchen. It’s a garden intended to be harvested fresh - some arugula with your morning eggs, a few handfuls of cherry tomatoes for a Caprese salad, or a spring of rosemary to garnish your happy hour beverage.

A kitchen garden is as tasteful to the eye as it is to eat. It is an extension of your home; a calming space right outside your door, where you can escape and connect with nature. It’s a space where you’ll experience the magic of a tiny seed, watch bees fall asleep on flowers, and fall in love with the smell of tomato leaves.
