Question 5

I don't know anything about gardening. Can I do this?

Answer

Yes! One of our main goals is to bring gardening to as many people as possible. It is therapeutic, it looks beautiful in your yard, it provides the opportunity for quality outdoor time and you get fresh, locally grown vegetables! We don't just sell you a garden box. We are here to support you all the way through your garden journey. We want you to succeed and will give you all of the tools to do so!

I do not have a flat spot in my yard. Can I still install the box?

Question 9

Cedar is an amazing product. It does not need to be treated and will last for years. If you prefer a treated look, there are some natural options, like linseed oil, that will not impact or interfere with your vegetables.
