Custom Build & Design
Making your garden dreams a reality.
The Consult
It all begins with your idea. No project is too big or too small, and the only limitation is your imagination. Together we will map out where your garden wants to be placed on your property, with optimal sunlight exposure and access to irrigation. Once a desirable spot is selected, we can start planning the size and shape of your garden beds.
The Build
Once your build is put on paper, construction begins. We only use the highest quality natural lumber free from chemicals and very slow to rot, cedar and hemlock stand the test of time through all Vermont seasons and are guaranteed to last for many years. Construction for smaller projects is done on our property in Morrisville and delivered to you free of charge.
The Fill
This is where things get really special. When building a raised bed garden, whats inside is of the utmost importance. Low quality soil can harm your plants and produce low quality yields. Petrichor uses principles from a technique call Hügelkultur in which differing layers of compostable material are used to line your garden. This is then all topped off with a topsoil/compost mixture of the highest quality from local sources. To add an extra healthy bang, we can provide our homemade nutrient mixture which will guarantee healthy, delicious veggies for years with minimal nutrient amending.
The Grow
When construction is complete its time to fill your garden with all you favorite veggies. We offer more than 50 different genetic varieties of vegetables, flowers, and herbs available as seedlings grown in our nursery. We also offer seeds for plants requiring direct sow such as carrots, beets, and potatoes. A list of what we have available can be found on the Seedlings page. Whether you choose to hire us to maintain your garden through the summer or not, we are always available for consulting and problem solving.
