Designing your garden

Verdura Culinary Gardens are beautiful, compact, versatile, and productive. Countless options are available depending upon your site and what you’d like to grow. Click on Garden Frame and Container Styles below to view a variety of options for designing the foundation of your garden. Then check out Planting Your Garden to review how we help with planting and maintenance. Our downloadable Home Garden Survey is a useful tool to identifying what you’d like to grow.

The Ranch is our simplest frame design, a well-built, sturdy, basic style with neatly rounded corners.


The Mayan Pyramid, a stunning, four-tier design, will add drama and style to any part of your yard. The design can be configured to frame pathways, adorn patios, and add a unique accent to your garden.

The Craftsman adds handsome 4" square corner posts topped with post caps in your choice of natural copper or solid glass in cobalt blue, amber, olive green or opaque black.

Our garden design services include developing a year-round custom planting plan specific to your garden, based on:

  • the number and size of your existing garden beds or those you plan to have us set up for you,
  • the number of people to feed and food preferences, and
  • any other information you share with us in your Home Garden Survey.
Sample Verdura planting plan document

Each planting plan shows both a list view and an overhead view of your garden, with specific planting dates and harvest dates, plus notes on needed plant supports and other pertinent information.

Your planting plan utilizes companion planting techniques, to maximize the health of your garden, as well as succession planting, to help spread out the harvest over the growing season.
