Carlton, NSW

This backyard in Carlton gets great summer and winter sun. We carefully chose the position of the beds to maximise both.

The three beds provide a massive amount of area for vegetables - probably enough to feed half the street!

Capturing both summer and winter sun, as these Carlton beds do, is the key to a vegetable garden that produces year-round, and a thoughtful layout makes all the difference on a compact St George block. A self-watering raised bed then keeps the soil evenly moist so the garden keeps cropping through the warm months.

Three beds together make a serious kitchen garden out of a modest Carlton yard, with room for everything from leafy greens to tomatoes and beans. Built from durable, food-safe timber, they are made to last. UrbanVeg builds raised garden beds and vegetable garden beds across Carlton and the St George area.
