Everyone has a reason for wanting to grow their own food. Maybe you want to recreate cherished memories of spending summer afternoons in the garden with your parents or grandparents with your own family. Maybe you want to reduce your footprint and know where your food is coming from. Healthy home-cooked meals, pesticide-free produce, and investing in a new hobby are also common reasons we hear during Initial Consultations.
Whatever your reason for wanting to grow your own food, we want to serve as a guide on your gardening journey. From designing the best raised beds for your growing space to building and maintaining the garden over time, our system has helped hundreds of gardeners succeed.
Here are some stories from real Backyard Eats clients showcasing how our diverse community is accomplishing their gardening goals. View our updated Our Projects Gallery for more photos and the full stories!
Beginners Dive Into Homegrown Food
This family had a huge, empty yard and was eager to start growing their own food. They wanted to make the most of their backyard by growing herbs, vegetables, and cut flowers for custom arrangements. Our design review process helped them visualize a harmonious garden that complemented their home and suited their slightly sloped landscape.
Mindful Mom Transforms Family’s Health
The client wanted a healthier lifestyle for her family and decided to grow their own food. Our garden designer created raised beds, an herb spiral, deer-proof fencing, and drip irrigation for easy maintenance. We planted raspberries and lavender, making the garden visible from the nearby sauna and supporting the family’s focus on physical health.
Empty Nester Reconnects with Nature
This client wanted to reconnect with gardening memories from her dad in her newly-found free time. With a large, underused yard now that their kids had moved out, she and her husband needed a better use of the space. We designed a garden combining expansive annual raised beds and a large perennial garden, providing trusted food and a focal point for occasional parties, with ongoing maintenance for productivity.
