4 Garden Planning Tips for Kitchen Garden Success

It’s winter. It’s cold and dreary here in Columbus, Ohio. And its the perfect time to get a jump start on the growing season.

Winter is the best time to plan your season and prepare for a thriving kitchen garden. A well designed and well planned garden is more successful, less stressful, and less time consuming overall. 

Here are 4 planning tips for kitchen garden success

Find the right location for your kitchen garden

Choose one or two spots that get around six to eight hours of direct sunlight. Make sure there is a water source nearby to make watering easy and convenient. Don’t be afraid to choose an area that is located close to your home. If your garden is easy to access, you’ll be more likely to spend time maintaining and harvesting.

Narrow down a garden design layout

We typically use four different types of garden design layouts for our clients: Twin Gardens, Border Gardens, Four Garden Classics, and Formal Potager. Find the layout that works best for your space and style.

Select your design elements

Raised beds, pathways, trellises, and borders make up your most important kitchen garden design elements. These elements can really define your space and make it unique to you.
