A raised bed full of organic veggies is the new pot of gold! 🌈⠀
Thanks for this snap from one of our corporate gardens, Farmer Ted 📸
Here's to another year of growth: in the #garden, in our communities, and in ourselves. These sprouts are ready for 2021, and so are we!
Dressed to Kale!⠀
⠀
Forgive us the pun, it's been a long year. We're just admiring our #wintergreen harvest! Kale Garden Tip: When harvesting kale, pull don't cut!

Are you all in on #broccolini, or a bigger fan of the spicier #broccoliraab, pictured here? Little known fact about this #wintercrop, Broccoli Raab isn't actually broccoli! It's considered a #wintergreen, and more closely related to the #turnip.⠀
⠀
Drop your favorite "broccoli" variety below!
Mother Nature showing off with this gorgeous color! #Redcabbage is a #wintergarden staple, delicious and chocked full of vitamin K, fiber, and more. What's your favorite way to prep red cabbage?
This recent install by our team really kicks "make the most of the space you have" up a notch! You can catch us daydreaming about this edible and drought-resistant #garden for the foreseeable future. 🤩
It may be #Fridaythe13th, but there's no superstition to be found here. Just a sweet furry visitor to a healthy #ediblegarden...does it get any better?
Garden Tip Tuesday!⠀
Some of your standard cold weather #veggies grow on the slower side (we're looking at you #brassicas!). Bring some life to your #ediblegarden while you wait with quick growers like delicious #arugula. Great for salads and pizza topping alike, arugula is one of our favorite garden staples!

Planting #peas this season? Remember, they like to grow up ⬆️ ⠀
⠀
Peas are natural climbers, and a #trellis gives them an easy way to grow strong, healthy, and skyward. Forgo a trellis and you may find your peas climbing a nearby plant!
The #beet fact you didn't know you needed for your #wintergarden: each seed contains 2-4 beets, so make sure to space them out as you plant, and leave room for all of that growth.⠀
⠀
Pictured here are some baby golden and red beets. How would you cook them?
#HappyHalloween! We're celebrating with a handful of creepy crawlers--but no trick here, these worms are a real treat for the soil in your #ediblegarden 🐛
“I recently purchased a beautiful home with a gorgeous garden and my goal was not to kill it. California Farm and Garden came along, strategized with us on our goals, planted a fall garden with us and now we get to watch it grow. I highly encourage anyone wanting to grow (no pun intended) a place of peace and beauty to give California Farm and Garden a call. They’re amazing.”
“We are SO thrilled with the patio… thank you for making such a beautiful space. A couple of days ago one of the residents that ‘can’t’ stand up in the bathroom was standing up ALONE at the planter with the hand rail.”
“When I contemplated creating an organic garden for one of our properties my first stop was California Farm and Garden. It’s one thing to hire someone to select and install plants and grow them. It’s yet another experience to comprehensively collaborate with someone who has the passion, vision and the solid expertise to create and tend to something remarkable. That experience is what I had with Karen Contreras and all her team at California Farm and Garden”.
“I have worked with California Farm and Garden for the past couple years and not only do they provide awesome produce and knowledgeable Garden Tech’s, they provide a beautiful environment that helps me get through my day to day.”
“Laura and the California Farm and Garden Team are amazing. Quick response to problems as they arise. When they leave, it is as if they have never been because the area is clean. Great patience to help a very novice gardener learn the correct practices needed for the best harvest! Thank you.”
“All I can say is ‘I love it’. I would recommend California Farm and Garden to everyone. Thank you so much!”
