Formal Potager Kitchen Garden in Houston
This Memorial area client was ready to transform her backyard space into a garden retreat with four Corten metal kitchen gardens and a custom made fountain. The gardens are a combined 150 square feet with loads of space for vegetables and herbs.
Jill, our garden consultant, spends time prior to the installation measuring out the design to ensure the borders, walkway and even trellises fit according to the initial design plan.
Our. client had lots of space to work with and was eager to make the most of the year round planting possibilities in Houston’s gardens.
We used our Formal Potager design to create a beautiful set up that truly makes the space feel like it’s set apart and welcoming you into an escape from the every day.
These Corten steel beds were custom made for our client to perfectly fit inside her space and make the most of each and every square foot.
Rooted Garden loves supporting local businesses in Houston and it’s always a treat to work with our local steel artist to create these gardens.
These are the largest Corten steel beds we’ve created for a client in Houston and it was such a treat to see them in place.
Once our team set up the Corten beds, we filled them with our Rooted Garden soil blend to ensure maximum growth and beauty for all the plants we were set to install.
Our garden managers, Jessica and Jen, worked tirelessly planting over 400 plants in these gardens. Planting the Houston gardens in February meant that we were able to plant both Cool Season and Warm Season plants in the Corten raised beds.
The garden was packed and ready to grow in one of the best seasons in Houston’s kitchen garden.
Many thanks to Kris for growing with us and to the Rooted Garden team for making this installation happen.
Both large and small, we love bringing back the kitchen garden to Houston and this garden makes our goal of seeing each Houston backyard with a kitchen garden one step closer to completion!
We can’t wait to return in a month to see how much everything has grown.
