Once it is Set Up, How Does Your Garden Grow?

Verdura’s Garden Grow program ensures your ongoing success as a gardener, for about the same cost as having someone cut your lawn. Here’s what our program includes:

• We supply and plant all the vegetables, flowers and herbs specified in your customized Garden Planting Plan for the entire 2010 growing season. These are not the typical hybrid standards you see at big box stores or garden centers. Our plant starts and seeds are grown by local organic farmers and Oregon seed suppliers who specialize in varieties well adapted to our climate. We offer delicious and unusual vegetable and herb plants grown for taste and nutritional value, with a strong emphasis on heirloom and organic varieties
• Weeding, amending your soil, all-natural pest control, pruning, cleanup and any other required maintenance.
• Fine-tuning your watering system as the seasons progress to minimize water use and maximize plant health and productivity.
• Every visit is a private gardening lesson. If you want to participate in maintenance, ask questions, and learn what we’re doing, we can schedule visits for when you and/or your children are home. We invite your participation – our long-term goal is to help our clients become self-sufficient gardeners. 

Depending upon the size of your garden, your available time, and the level of garden maintenance participation you desire, we can schedule visits monthly, bi-monthly or even weekly. The Garden Grow program starts at just $45 a visit – including all plant starts and seeds. We also offer garden planting plans and hourly consulting services for experienced gardeners.

Note: It's important to understand that we are to some extent at Mother Nature's mercy. Weather and other factors can impact the health and productivity of vegetable plants. We'll do everything we can to ensure an optimal growing environment for your garden.
