New Garden Alert
These clients wanted to build a raised bed vegetable garden without sacrificing their existing pollinator plants…so we built them an aesthetic front yard garden that combines both!
Long raised beds provide ample space to grow food — and thanks to our signature panel fence, the crops will be protected from pests like deer.
A wide, low-maintenance stone pathway connects the two garden zones. No more muddy boots or pesky weeds!
Perennial flowers bloom alongside a custom telescope pad…because who doesn’t want to stargaze in their Backyard Eats garden?
Do you want to experience the magic of homegrown food in your own yard? Book a consultation today to bring your garden project to life!
It’s not too late to buy tickets for our Community Plant Swap with Back to Earth Compost!
Bring a plant and connect with fellow gardeners on Sunday, October 8 for a fun local event that benefits the therapeutic mission of Heroic Gardens.

We look forward to seeing you there!
Fall Garden Maintenance
Whether you’re looking for seasonal service or ongoing maintenance, we can make growing food at home easy and rewarding for you. Fall is a great season to “get ahead” and prepare your garden for next year.
Thanks to our full-service maintenance team, we can keep your Backyard Eats garden healthy by:
-
Frequently harvesting fall crops
-
Planting garlic and shallots before winter
-
Feeding your soil with organic nutrients
-
Mulching perennial plants like berries
You’ll notice the difference next spring when you have a thriving backyard landscape!

Up Next: Fall Garlic Planting
Did you know? It only takes a few square feet to grow a large garlic harvest in your own backyard!
We typically plant and mulch garlic between October and November to protect it from harsh cold weather. Garlic planted in the fall will be ready to harvest next summer.
Once you cook with homegrown garlic, you won’t hesitate to grow it again!
