"While we can certainly help the homeowner with a spacious yard create an amazing in-ground or bedded garden, we also realize that many homeowners and renters simply don't have that space available. We can create an amazing garden for those folks by utilizing different size pots," said Kalim Owens, co-owner of Weidners Gardens.
Co-owner Oliver Storm added, "With the whole farm-to-table movement happening, home gardens are the perfect way to bring that experience even closer to home. There is nothing better than stepping out into your garden or patio, picking some fresh vegetables and herbs to work into your meal. It just makes cooking such a more interactive, sensual experience."
