Grow Your Food

This is the smartest investment you can make for your wallet, home, and health that will more than pay for itself within the first season and has benefits that last a lifetime. It is an affordable start up cost that has the best return on your investment.

If you don’t think you have room for a garden you’re wrong.  Anyone can have a garden at home or work and even if you live in an apartment or condo with a small balcony. A few containers or window boxes with tomatoes, cucumbers, salad greens, and herbs can provide you with several fresh salads through the summer. Or you can plant some veggies, fruits, and  herbs in in your perennial beds. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, carrots, and red beets all work very well in the borders and add blooms and interesting foliage.

If you want to save money on your grocery bill this summer plant a produce garden. You can have fresh tomatoes, basil, and cukes  for less than pennies a piece.

Our company specializes in self watering organic produce gardens for your home or business. They can be created in the earth, in raised beds, or containers to suit your needs and budget. This  sustainable garden has many advantages for you. The best is that all the flavors are enhanced. Your own organic vegetables will taste much better than those commercially grown for the local store.

You will also reap the economic rewards of growing your own food. It is wonderful to not have to buy your veggies at the store which reduces your carbon footprint and fuel consumption and most importantly allows you the opportunity to, on a whim, pick and make your own cucumber and tomato sandwich topped with a fresh pesto made from garlic and basil in your garden. Or perhaps a soup or salad.

We created this vegetable and herb garden for Jill in Essex, CT. Growing your own organically cuts out the need for chemical products used in commercially grown gardens. And most important are the health benefits. Organic gardening improves your life through the exercise of growing and caring for your garden as well as the benefits when you eat it. It can be a fun and rewarding endeavor that can bring your family together in a peaceful and educational setting and teach your children the benefits of mindful and eco-conscious living.

All this gives you delicious, healthy, cheap food to eat. Come on folks, there is nothing like taking a seed and watch it grow into something tasty and anyone can learn to grow and tend to their own garden.

You can learn to dry the herbs, make jams, can the fruits and veggies, and maintain a year round source of home grown produce.

A garden measuring approximately 16′ x 24′ will feed a family of four for a year. A family of four will spend on average $50/week on conventional (not organic) vegetables; this figure does not include fruit.

Buying organically for the same family costs on average $65/week. And a small 4′x4′ garden can supply organic produce for you for only $50/year.

This is the best place to buy eco-conscious and organic products for the garden.
