Sutherland, NSW

We installed two accessible wicking beds for a lovely senior couple in Sutherland. Being in your early eighties should not stop you gardening, but there's no harm in making things a little easier with our raised wicking beds.

No heavy watering cans - just attach a hose.

No weeding, as the surface remains dry so weeds do not germinate.

Less pests and disease due to the drier surface environment as all the watering is done from below.

Looking forward to installing more beds in this lovely yard after some ongoing rearrangement.

Accessible raised garden beds are one of the most common requests we get in Sutherland, where plenty of long-time gardeners want to keep growing as the years go on. Bringing the soil up to a comfortable standing height, and letting the reservoir handle the watering, turns the garden back into a pleasure rather than hard work.

In the warm, sheltered Shire climate a self-watering raised vegetable bed will carry herbs, salad, tomatoes and leafy greens for much of the year. Built from sturdy, food-safe timber, these beds are made to stay solid and productive for the long haul. UrbanVeg builds accessible raised garden beds across Sutherland and the Sutherland Shire.
