Over the last number of years people have started returning to the joys of back-yard gardening. Some folks desire more control over how their food is grown, some desire to be more food secure or maybe some desire to get back to the long remembered days of helping a parent or grandparent in their garden. Indeed, adding a garden to your backyard is an investment worth the sweet reward it will bring year after year.
Because truth be told, there is something wonderful about that first red, ripe tomato plucked from the garden or the crisp taste of early snap peas enjoyed standing beside the trellis that bears their sweet weight.
As a young girl I spent hours gardening with my Mom, learning how to turn the soil, plant, water and harvest the bounty of our hard work. And while I can’t say I always enjoyed the work of a garden, I did enjoy the benefit of its healthy abundance and today I am an avid gardener, tending my own gardens from early spring through late fall.
In the same way we, at Bear Root Gardens, want to help you get back to your own roots of growing OR help you discover them for the first time.
The way we do that is by providing a hassle free, simple solution to gardening by offering custom built planter boxes fitted to your specific situation, fully installed and ready to grow! We further empower you by providing free planting plans, resources and tips and optional maintenance plans.
No matter which option you decide on we are excited to help you start growing simple food in your own backyard – helping to bring fresh, healthy food to your dinner table.
Growing Together,
~Victoria

We will deliver for free within a 35 mile radius of Waynesboro.
How much sun do I need for a garden?
Up to 6 hours of sun is recomended, with 8 hours being the ideal amount of sun exposure for a location.
Do you offer maintenance plans for pre-established vegtable gardens that Bear Root did not install?
We do provide maintenance plans for pre-established vegtable gardens but only reserve a limited amount of spots each season. Note that before a maintenance plan is agreed upon our garden consultant will visit your garden and determine if it is a fit for our current maintenance plan and team. If you are interested in having your vegtable garden considered for one of these select spots please contact us by phone or through project button on this page.
