Thinking about starting your own garden, but not sure if it'll be worth it? Here are our top 10 reasons why everyone should have their own garden.  

1.  KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOUR FOOD COMES FROM - See your plants grow right before your eyes.

2. HAVE FRESH PRODUCE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS DURING THE GROWING SEASON - Add  freshly picked veggies to your salads and meals

3. MAKE MEALS MORE INTERESTING AND FLAVOURFUL-  Freshly picked produce tastes better and fresh herbs add a burst of flavour

4. VITAMIN/NUTRIENT RICH, VINE RIPENED PRODUCE- Vine-ripened produce is shown to have higher vitamin and antioxidant contents

5. EDUCATIONAL-Learn and teach your children where fresh food comes from -it's not the grocery store!  We offer a specialized children’s range.

6. RELIEVE STRESS AND GET THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS-Working in your garden or even watching things grow over time can have a stress relieving effect

7. SHARE THE BOUNTY-Share extra produce with your friends and family

8. AVOID HARMFUL CHEMICALS, PESTICIDES, AND FERTILIZERS- Know that no industrial chemicals or fertilizers have been sprayed on your food.  Sadly major diseases are no longer a rarity,  most of us have lost someone close  well before their time. There are no miracle cures, but you can limit your risks.  You will be eating fresher vegetables, which means higher nutrient content. By choosing heirloom plants which are non-genetically modified you know you are eating vegetables with the flavours   and nutrient nature intended.

9. LIVE A GREEN AND ECO-FRIENDLY LIFESTYLE- Reduce your carbon footprint and become less dependent on food grown hundreds of kilometers away

10. SAVE MONEY- Having a garden can supplement your daily diet and save money you would normally spend on produce.  As much as we’d all love to buy it, organic produce is expensive .

You don’t need to start big, we can provide you with  potted herbs and vegetables to give you a start.  If you don’t have a veggie patch we can make one for you although there is no longer a need to hide vegetable gardens around the back, the  worldwide trend is to make them a show case implementing edible garden designs.
