Ellen Abdow has been a featured speaker at The Garden Club of the Back Bay, and she has let us know about a very special project.
Perennial Gardens LLC has partnered with Jenn Nawada from This Old House to bring you a garden of your very own — Boston’s Victory Gardens. They are delivering fully planted vegetable gardens to your doorstep, safely created with lots of love.
- The Green Monstah has everything you need for a summer salad.
- Taco Tuesday brings the heat, bursting with a variety peppers.
- The Pollinator is full of flowers that attract bees and butterflies — plus many more varieties of “victory gardens” for your own backyard! Gift a loved one with their very own victory garden.
- The Herbalist, a hand-carved stone trough filled with an assortment of herbs, is the perfect Mother’s Day gift.
- Homeschooling the kiddos? Kids Can Grow is full of strawberries, beans, carrots — and full of learning opportunities about science, plants, and horticulture.
- And The Mixologist, a planter full of cocktail herbs, is a gift we could all use right now!
These planter boxes are set up for success, created with superior growing soil and top-notch cultivars of veggies and herbs. They have a variety of planter vessels — including red cedar, vintage cranberry boxes, and hand carved stone troughs — that are managed by one person at a time throughout the entire process — from planting to delivery. These victory gardens will be available for purchase through Ellen’s website (www.bostonsvictorygardens.com). They are not inexpensive, but will bring hours of stress reduction and enjoyment.
