Larry and Caroline installed a beautiful garden on my ninth-floor balcony. The flowers were beautiful and the tomatoes delicious. I'm also delighted with the enjoyable sitting area this garden has added to my apartment.”

    Long-term care facility staff and well as residents benefit from the gardens – they’re an affordable and popular employee benefit.
  • Produce raised in the gardens can be used by facility chefs, who can take an active role in partnership with Verdura in planning what to grow.
  • Verdura can train staff as well as residents to manage the gardens on their own over time, making the gardens a great long-term investment.
  • Gardens can range from small patio gardens – such as this example at high rise independent living facility Calaroga Terrace in Portland – to large-scale production gardens for large facilities with room to grow.
