Let's Create Your Dream Kitchen Garden

Book a Design Consultation


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.

We Install Your Dream Garden


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.

Join Our Private Coaching Program to Grow Your Green Thumb in Your New Garden


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.

Hey There! I'm Nicole, Your Certified Kitchen Garden Coach

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.
