    MORE ABOUT GARDEN CARE

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.
