Get a Garden

Two ways to start. Pick your space.

Both are turnkey cedar gardens — designed, built, and planted by Piper. The only question is how much room you've got.

Every TGL garden is a complete growing system — cedar box, premium soil, drip irrigation on a timer, seasonal planting, and Piper's hands-on setup.

Ready when you are

Let's build your garden.

Tell us about your space and we'll set up a walk-through. No pressure, no template — just a realistic plan for what'll grow where you are.

How it works

Four steps to a full bed.

01

Call & walk-through

We visit, talk through what you want to grow, and read the space.

02

Design & quote

A plan and a real number — no surprises after the fact.

03

Build weekend

We show up, build, fill, and plant — usually in a day or two.

04

Grow with backup

A season of check-ins so the first harvest actually happens.

A word from Piper

“My philosophy is simple: more people should know how to grow at least a little of their own food. It connects you to what you eat — and that matters.”

— Piper Klee-Waddle, The Grower’s Life
