we want to create your veg patch.
Once we've installed your veg patch we'll give you everything you need to grow loads of veg. Including 365 WhatsApp support.
Book now. Pay on the day.
1. Choose your veg patch size and book in a timeslot without paying anything today. Then send us a pic of where in your garden you'd like it - it could be a lawn, a flower bed, a disused area... so far we've always been able to clear the space to create one, and we'll take payment once your veg patch is fully installed!
2. We'll arrive, prep the area, clearing anything we need to, create the beds and build the structures for plants to grow up. Then, we'll sow the first seeds (unless you'd prefer to do this as it's really fun!)
We'll create your veg patch.
You grow veg.
3. We'll give you everything you need to grow veg for a whole year without needing any previous experience or having to think about the boring bits: seeds, nets, trays, compost… Our digital planting plan and grow guides will walk you through our amazing growing process step by step.
4. Once we leave, we're not far. You'll have access to WhatsApp support throughout your growing journey with us. You can also book a Veg Visit: where someone will come and check over your veg patch and do any jobs that need doing!
We'll look after you and your patch.
Why grow with us?
Grow a variety of food. 365.
We've carefully chosen what to plant, when, in order to have a supply of fresh, varied, and delicious food - not just in the summer but all through the year. You can get 2-3 substantial harvests of delicious veg from the same small area from which you'd normally only get one!
Get the most out of your space.
Our planting plan contains the secret to growing over twice the amount of veg compared with conventional ways from the same area of land, and with reduced effort. The structures we build use vertical growing, and we use succession planting (one thing after another), and interplanting (things growing in between each other) to get the most out of a small space.
Sustainability.
Growing your own food is one of the best things you can do for the planet. Reducing food miles, reducing harmful farming practices, and increasing food security. But we go beyond that by sequestering carbon through investing in the soil, and using the most sustainable techniques possible.

What will you grow?We've chosen each vegetable carefully based on how nice it is to eat, how easy it is to grow, and how it grows with the other veg to get as much out of the space as possible. Our plans vary as to when you get your patch but on average have 18 different crops including: Tomatoes, Radish, Spinach, Pea Shoots, Kale, Winter Squash, Beetroot, Lettuce, French Beans, Rocket, Carrots, Courgette, Potatoes, Broccoli and Onions!

What size garden do you need?You don't need a huge amount of space, we can fit a lot of growing space into a really small area! (Each bed is 120cm x 60cm). Small Veg Patch (3 beds) - you need an area 1.50m x 1.80m. Medium Veg Patch (6 beds) - you need an area 2.40m x 2.40m. Large Veg Patch (9 beds) - you need an area 2.40m x 3.60m.

What kind of garden do you need?In terms of sun: the best place would be somewhere that's nice and sunny, but your veg patch will definitely work in a spot which is partially shaded. Best results are from somewhere with at least 5 hours of sun a day in midsummer (June). With regards to the ground: something like a lawn or a flowerbed is ideal. But it can be a disused bit of your garden or a shrub area, anywhere that has either bare soil or soil underneath. We should be able to remove whatever's growing there at the moment and we can almost always get one of our veg patches in! If you've either not got any soil (so only have patio or concrete for example), OR you want to be able to take your patch with you (short term rent for example), choose your patch under the tab Growing on concrete? As we can build raised beds deep enough so they can grow veg without any disturbance of the ground, we can even put them on wheels! Finally, if you've already got veg beds, or are outside of our working area and want the helping hand of knowing what to plant, when, and the same continuous growing support, then check out our Veg Patch In A Box.
