Denver, CO has a short and intense growing season, but planting some veggies and fruits at home increases your sustainability and self-sufficiency while maximizing use of our region's most precious resource: water.
50% of the water used by local single-family homes is spent outdoors, on average, according to Denver Water. Why not grow food with that water?
Benefits of home gardening: it's fun and connects you with nature, produces food that tastes better than store bought produce, uses outdoor water efficiently and sustainably, strengthens community resilience and self sufficiency, and is part of our nation's heritage.
Why raised garden beds: aesthetics, soil health and quality control, convenience and ergonomics, built-in seating, resource sustainability, and increased self sufficiency.
Our licensed landscape architect primarily uses wood to construct custom dimension raised garden beds for homeowners in the Denver metro. Other recommended options include dry-stacked Siloam stone and galvanized tubs customized for drip irrigation.
Automated watering systems: we design and install zoned and programmable drip irrigation systems to keep plants thriving without daily hand watering needs, saving you time and often money in the long run.
A few of our favorite veggies for first-time home gardeners living in the Front Range include heirloom tomatoes, Hatch and Chile peppers, hardy greens like kale and spinach, squash, culinary herbs, strawberries, and raspberries.
