Kitchen Garden Tour

We are taking photos to document the progress of gardens featured in our Kitchen Garden Planner. Watch the slideshow to see how they’re looking. If you’re growing a vegetable garden that you designed using our Kitchen Garden Planner, please add some photos of your garden to our online album. Kitchen Garden Planner slideshow

The Plant It and Forget It Garden on June 21. See it in our slideshow.

Our Kitchen Garden Planner features eight pre-planned garden designs for 3x6 ft. raised beds. This summer we are growing out the four most popular designs in our Burlington display gardens. We are taking photos to document their progress and have assembled a slideshow to show you how they’re looking. If you’re growing a vegetable garden that you designed using our Kitchen Garden Planner, please add some photos of your garden to our online album.

This year, more than 100,000 people used our Kitchen Garden Planner to help design a vegetable garden. Most folks started from scratch and created a custom planting plan, and many others used one of our eight pre-planned gardens.

This is the second year we've grown out some of the pre-planned gardens in our own Burlington, Vt. display gardens. The 3x6 ft. cedar Copper Cap Raised Beds were planted the second week of May with a combination of transplants and direct-sown seeds. Check out the slideshow to see how they're progressing. We'll be back in September with an update.

And, if you've planted one of our pre-planned garden designs, or used the Kitchen Garden Planner to create a custom design that you've planted, please take a photo and add it to the album. Thank you!
