How to Dry, Store, and Use Your Homegrown Remedies

Whether you're creating a brand new garden or modifying an existing garden that hasn't given you incredible harvests, we can help you plan for success.
A Garden Design Consultation includes a one-hour visit to your garden to determine what truly works best for you and your family, followed by a custom garden design for your new garden. The cost of the Consultation is credited to the cost of the Installation.
Let Patio Produce do the hard work! We'll install the highest-quality raised beds built by a local finish carpenter, fill the beds with a special raised-bed soil mix, add healthy vegetable and herb seedlings, and ensure their success with an automatic watering system to ensure your garden thrives and you spend more time harvesting.
We'll also install those special details that make your garden feel truly custom, like pathways around your garden, edging to ensure your space is not invaded by kids or pets, and beautiful trellises to give your vining plants support and make your garden truly stunning.
You didn't think that we'd set up a new garden and then leave you to figure out how to maximize your harvests, did you?
After your new garden is installed, you will be invited to my private coaching program for a full 12 months. Garden coaching includes teaching you the know-how to garden in your new space, foolproof watering and pest management, and fun private events during winter months so you keep learning even when your garden is resting.
I started gardening with my grandma and mom when I was little. Both had a large vegetable gardens in their rural yards every year, so starting my own garden was a given when I moved to Chicago. It was a fun challenge to adapt the ideas I had of gardens growing up to suburban and urban spaces. One thing has stayed the same year after year and regardless of where I’m gardening: there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a tiny plant you started from seed or brought home from a nursery mature into what you’re sitting down to eat for dinner.
This is 80-90% of your success in the garden. Let Patio Produce do all the hard (but absolutely critical) work of finding the optimal space, high-quality soil, and long-lasting raised beds for your new garden.
We'll ensure that your garden is not only beautiful and productive, but easy for you to use.
The six months of Garden Coaching included with each Garden Installation includes new vegetable and herb seedlings and direct-sown seeds to ensure you always have fresh produce from April through October. We'll also discuss a key aspect of gardening to bolster your gardening know-how quickly.
It's so frustrating to wait for the perfect harvest just to have something else get to it first!
In your personalized Garden Coaching, we'll discuss and apply all the strategies you'll need to manage pests and diseases for the rest of your gardening career.
