Why Grow a Kitchen Garden?


What Goes in a
Kitchen Garden
Our landscapers will customize your kitchen garden to your food preferences and what you’d like to see growing in your backyard.
Fruits & Vegetables
The most common plants in a kitchen garden are those that produce fruits and vegetables. The climate of Southern Florida allows for large yields of both when cared for properly. We’ll recommend certain varieties based on your preferences, but some common choices include tomatoes, onions, peppers, spinach, carrots, strawberries, blueberries, avocados, pears, and, of course, oranges.
Herbs
When cooking a meal for the family, fresh herbs are the best way to add bursts of flavor. Fortunately, plenty of herbs grow really easily in Southern Florida and the Greater South Florida area. What’s great about herbs is they don’t take up a lot of space, so you can put them almost anywhere, even inside. We’ve helped plant various herbs for clients, such as rosemary, basil, thyme, mint, and oregano.
Edible Flowers
Adding edible flowers to your kitchen garden is the best way to elevate the beauty of your backyard and your next gourmet dish. Edible flowers have long been used in dishes for texture, color, and, most importantly, taste. By themselves, flowers can be bitter, but when prepared properly, they have the opportunity to taste wonderful. Our team will help choose edible flowers that taste great and look beautiful.
Mushrooms
Growing fungi in your garden may sound like a bad idea, but safe-to-eat mushrooms are perfectly fine. They’re not only edible but also add a unique aesthetic to your backyard. Many species of mushrooms require little to no equipment, and growing them is simple. Some mushrooms grow best on logs, while others only need nutrient-rich soil. Whichever species you’re looking to grow, our South Florida landscapers are here to help.

Building a kitchen garden is more achievable than many believe, but our South Florida landscapers help fulfill our clients’ dreams.

How much space do I need for a kitchen garden?
Your garden can be any size, big or small. Our team will work with whatever space you want to allocate to your garden when developing a design. From there, we can help you determine what plants are best suited for the area you’ve given for your garden.

How often should I water my garden?
Gardens directly in the ground should be watered once a week with one to two inches. Container gardens dry out faster, so they should be watered daily, but you can integrate soil with organic ingredients to help retain moisture for longer.
