An idea whose time has come: bringing gardening to Portland area businesses.
Verdura Culinary Gardens can help Portland, Oregon area businesses go green by creating an attractive, productive garden right on site. Whether your business is a large corporation or a small restaurant, a long term care facility, a school or a retail storefront, having an organic garden is a great way to practice sustainability.

We can build a garden for any type of business with a sunny spot suitable for growing. As with our residential gardens, you do not have to have a lot of space or good soil. We can install gardens in courtyards, malls, parking lots or any area currently covered in grass, mulch, gravel or hardscape. Contact us for more information and a free, no-obligation site assessment.
