Producers who successfully complete all project requirements will receive a $500 participation incentive.

🌱 It’s Gardening Season! 🌱
I’m thinking about offering a new service this year to continuing growing our family farm business Leo’s Urban Farms … installing in-ground edible vegetable/fruit gardens for anyone who wants to grow their own food but doesn’t know where to start. 💚

Here’s what I’d handle for you:

✨ Come out and measure your backyard
✨ Give you an estimate based on size & layout
✨ Check what your soil is capable of growing
✨ Build & plant your edible garden (greens, herbs, veggies, etc.)
✨ Guide you on how to take care of it afterward

If you’ve been wanting a garden but need the extra help, comment GARDEN or message me and I’ll reach out. 🌞🍅🥬

Let’s grow something this season! 🌿👩🏽‍🌾
