Yard2Kitchen Organic Gardens, which designs, installs and maintains raised-bed produce gardens, announced the opening of its New Jersey-based organic garden company, which will initially service homeowners in northern and central New Jersey.  To celebrate the launch, Yard2Kitchen is offering a free season of its Master Gardener Concierge maintenance program for gardens ordered before January 1, 2015.

Yard2Kitchen, which will begin installing gardens in April, has decided to launch its new venture just as other gardens are closing up, giving homeowners ample time to meet with a Backyard Garden Consultant to plan for the upcoming growing season. Custom garden plans are based on household produce preferences and desired specific health benefits. They may include unusual items such as sugar cube melon and Shiraz peas as well as produce especially appealing to children.

The company’s gardens of vegetables and fruit are artfully and systematically combined in a raised garden frame of natural timber construction with an automatic drip irrigation system and a moisture sensor. A 15-inch-deep bed allows root vegetables such as carrots and potatoes to fully develop.  An exterior window box for herbs and flowers and Yard2Kitchen’s signature squirrel and deer fencing system are some of the company’s most unique offerings.  The Master Gardener Concierge program, which makes it easy for even the busiest families to have their own garden, features in-person monthly maintenance, instruction, and a written assessment for keeping the garden in top shape between visits.  

 “We are so excited to launch Yard2Kitchen,” said co-founder and Manalapan resident Ken Baldo.  “We kept hearing that people wanted the convenience of a backyard garden but didn’t know how to garden or didn’t have much time.  Our Master Gardener Concierge program takes the guesswork out of gardening and allows the homeowner to enjoy the benefits of the garden with minimal effort.  Even at this time of year, our Master Gardener would be closing the gardens, freeing up families to enjoy these beautiful fall days.  And gardens offer so much more than just plants.  They can be a springboard to healthy eating and a tremendous focal point for family and friends.”
