Q. What does Yum Yards provide?
A. We provide an initial gardening consultation for $65 (payable in advance and credited to your account when you sign up for construction and/or gardening services) that will cover your backyard garden potential, the types of beds that can be built, and what vegetables that can be grown in your yard.
Following the consultation, we’ll assemble the garden you purchase, fill it with compost and other amendments. Then we will provide all plants and seeds needed to grow vegetables in your garden throughout the growing season. We will provide cover for early season tender crops. We will tend to your garden according to the subscription service you have purchased.
After each visit, you will receive a video garden update which will cover activity in your garden and instruction on what needs to be done in between our visits and instructions on harvesting your vegetables.
Q. How much does this cost?
A.There is a $65 fee for an initial garden consultation. If you sign on for services, the fee is applied to your bill.
Gardening services are on several levels depending on your needs and budget.
1-10 square yards of garden. There is an additional reduced rate for gardens larger than 10 square yards.
After your consultation you will receive an estimate of all costs.
