Un-identified Gardens of People too Bashful to Claim !

More coming soon.

how about yours ?

Here's a really big garden all contained in one 10' x 10'

box with a 2' wide-plank walkway through the center.

Two-4' x 10' areas will give 80 different crops.  So easy

to take care of..., yet so much to harvest.

This garden has many wonderful features, including the flower filled poles and the pyramid trellises.

Look how creative you can get with your SFG's.

A big bountiful harvest, but still room to get around !

This spectacular garden could be on the cover of any gardening magazine.  Notice how much an arbor adds to the beauty of the garden.
This is a demonstration garden showing all the different materials you can use for the box sides.

Even little old ladies can reach in 2 ft. to their SFG.  An added feature is a table top garden for easy sit-down or stand-up gardening.
Here is a classic well designed SFG all fenced in.  You could have something like this in your yard.

Here's a 3' x 3'-plywood bottom with a fancy decorative molding finish at the top.
Stepped up gardens at the Royal Botanical Garden in Bermuda.  Notice the nice bark ground cover for easy clean dry walking around each box.

This 2' x 2' box will add beautiful color to any deck or porch.  Easily movable.
Notice how easy it is to add a SFG to just about any location or situation.  This is all pure rock.

A terrace garden planted with a spring crop.  Right next to the kitchen door.
This design shows extra support in each corner for additional strength.
Notice how nice and informal the staggered layout looks.  Anything works with SFG.
How neat and organized.  Kids just love a SFG.  Notice the strawberry pyramid on the back right.

Here is a stepped up corner layout made from

2 x 12 lumber, with a vinyl box in the background.

These are our "domino" boxes, easily moved and rearranged when they have plywood bottoms.
