Herbs, Meet Vegetables

A few months back we installed a small organic herb garden in to a pre-existing, rock-tiered backyard bed in far southwest Austin. The landscaped area was a pretty, though underutilized, portion of the hilly yard. After breaking up the soil, adding compost and a layer of chicken wire to discourage the family’s dog the herbs took off. The family enjoyed the experience so much they decided to expand the garden and add a wide variety of organic vegetables and flowers.

Bohemian Bounty was more than happy to help expand the garden. Jen worked with them to created a planting design the kids would enjoy and a schedule that would keep the garden productive. We then came in and prepped the bed by spading, removing stone and cedar roots, adding compost, installing wire to discourage rabbits, adding pathways, planting seeds and laying out the plants for a family planting activity. It was a great day and we can’t wait to see the bounty!
