Our Process

From first conversation to first harvest

Every project is unique. We take the time to understand your space, your kitchen, and the way you want to live -- then we build something that lasts.

01
Stage One

Discovery and Assessment

Every great garden begins with listening. We start with a conversation about what you cook, how you live, and what you have always hoped to grow. Then we come to you.

  • Introductory call to understand your goals and schedule
  • On-site consultation walking your space together
  • Soil testing, sun mapping, and drainage assessment
  • Microclimate read specific to your San Diego neighbourhood

Stage Two

Custom Garden Design

With your site fully understood, we design a garden built specifically for you -- your tastes, your kitchen, your family. Not a template. A living plan.

  • Personalised growing plan around what you actually cook
  • Raised bed layout for beauty and practical access
  • Companion planting and natural pest management built in
  • Year-round seasonal planting schedule for San Diego

Stage Three

Build and Installation

With the plan approved, we get to work. Every bed is built by hand, every cubic foot of soil chosen with intention. We treat your garden the way we would treat our own.

  • Premium cedar raised beds, built and installed on site
  • Custom organic soil blend -- compost-rich, alive, no synthetics
  • Smart drip irrigation, calibrated to your beds and schedule
  • Trellises, arches, and structural features where specified

Stage Four

Plant and Establish

The moment the garden comes to life. We plant everything by hand using seasonal starts and seeds selected for your climate and your plan. Then we stay close through the critical first weeks.

  • Hand planting with correct spacing, depth, and companion pairings
  • Organic-certified seedlings from trusted local growers
  • Establishment visits to monitor and adjust in the first weeks
  • Your Garden Handbook -- care notes, harvest windows, crop guidance

Stage Five

Ongoing Care

A kitchen garden is not a one-time project -- it is a living system that evolves through the seasons. Our ongoing maintenance plans keep it producing beautifully, year after year.

  • Regular maintenance visits: weekly, fortnightly, or monthly
  • Seasonal replanting and crop rotation to protect soil health
  • Natural pest management, pruning, and organic feeding
  • Year-round support from a gardener who knows your space
