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 the Garden frame and container styles link below to view a variety of options for designing the foundation of your garden. Then check out Planting your garden, where you can browse suggested collections of vegetables or, of course, dream up your own. Our downloadable Garden Preferences Evaluation will also help you identify what you’d like to grow for your family.

Garden frame and container styles

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

The Mayan Pyramid is a stunning, four-tier design that will add drama and style to any part of your yard, including decks or patios. The design can be configured several different ways 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 real solid glass in cobalt blue, amber, olive green or opaque black.

Planting your garden

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,
  • your family's size and food preferences, and
  • any other information you share with us in your Garden Preferences Evaluation form.

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.

Not sure exactly what to plant? Download our list of suggested culinary-themed gardens, designed by a professional chef, for inspiration. These can be useful in helping you plan your overall garden. They are also available for purchase from Verdura as pre-designed 4’ square planting plans you can implement yourself.
