Corten Raised Bed Kitchen Gardens in River Oaks District

Corten Raised Bed Kitchen Garden in River Oaks

Corten Raised Beds are One Of Our Favorite Things

This was actually the first Corten raised bed we got to design for a Rooted Garden client.

Our client already had a Corten fire pit nearby so it seemed like a perfect fit to design the kitchen garden to align with the design and other elements of the space.

Kitchen Garden Design

By creating a Twin Garden design instead of just one single bed, our client is able to access all sides of the bed more easily. The Twin Garden design also adds more of a set apart feel to the kitchen garden space.

Houston’s Unique Garden Seasons

Rooted Garden installed this kitchen garden in the summer of 2017 and was able to plant it with loads of herbs, greens, hot peppers and even eggplant.

Each season, the Rooted Garden team tends these gardens and plants them again with plants that will thrive in Houston’s unique climate. Pictured here are tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and bush beans.

Green All Year in Houston

We love that the kitchen gardens are always green in Houston, from winter to summer and everything in between. Even in the dead of winter, the rosemary, oregano, chives and greens are thriving. And in the heat of Houston’s summer, there are peppers and basil galore.

There’s no better city to invest in a kitchen garden than Houston where the growing is non-stop.

Raised Garden Design

At Rooted Garden, we take our raised garden design seriously. Here, we designed the beds to be 18” high-just right for tending and the perfect compliment to the rest of the kitchen garden area.

River Oaks District is Full of Kitchen Gardens

After serving Houston for nearly five years, it’s such a treat to drive through River Oaks District and see so many homes that have a Rooted Garden kitchen garden in their backyard.

In just a few streets, we have more than a handful of clients growing with us.

This means less food miles for Houston’s food supply, more flowers and much needed pollen for bees and butterflies, better air quality in the center of the city, and Houston neighbors sharing their overflowing harvests of greens and herbs with each other.

It’s our dream that every backyard throughout Houston will have its own kitchen garden and because of you, we’re well on our way.
