Gardening

A calming garden is more than a collection of plants—it’s an outdoor environment designed to support children’s emotional and mental well-being. By providing sensory variety, natural beauty, and opportunities for responsibility, a garden becomes a space where children can relax, build confidence, and learn life lessons that go far beyond planting seeds.

Have you ever glanced at your garden and wished its beauty could last through every season, winter’s chill and summer’s blaze alike? Whether you're battling scorching heat, unexpected frosts, or simply want fresh greens year-round, gardening doesn’t have to hibernate with the seasons. You're about to discover how a thoughtful approach can keep your garden vibrant and productive, no matter the weather.

When you spend months tending crops, the last thing you want is to see your hard-earned harvest wilt before it reaches the customer. Freshness isn’t just about looks.

CSA members look forward to crisp greens, sweet carrots, and berries that still taste like sunshine. As a market gardener, you know the battle doesn’t end at harvest. It continues in the way you cool, store, and move your produce.

You’ve coaxed seedlings through dark winter days, fought off aphids with soapy sprays, and perfected the rhythm of ventilation-fan hums and drip-line clicks.

One frayed power cord or faulty breaker can undo months of work in a single night.
