grow.

Recently, we spoke to someone who expressed their concern about the lack of fresh produce at their grocery store this winter. With the cold weather we’ve had, just imagine how hard our farmers work to bring whatever fresh vegetables and fruits to market they can. So we thought, why not grow your favorite vegetables inside the comfort of your home?! With consideration for space, these inside veggie gardens are designed to grow vertically, keeping the plants elevated to reach the maximum light, keeping your counters clutter-free. Now, that’s our kind of garden!

All sorts of lettuce, aromatics, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and squash can fit, depending on the size of the containers. You don’t want to crowd the roots, so opting for a good-sized planter for larger plants is best. Finding the brightest space in your kitchen would be an ideal area to grow your vertical garden. You can make it fun by getting your family involved, as it’s a great weekend project!

Finding the vegetables and fruits you want to grow is the easiest part. Selecting the color planters that match your kitchen is important, as is choosing the hardware to hang it from is next. There are endless planters to choose from online and your local nurseries.

Once you get your favorite seeds planted, it won’t be long before you see little seedlings sprout, developing into plants you can enjoy and create beautiful, nutritious meals with, all at arms length from your own kitchen sink!
