Woronora, NSW

A lovely couple in Woronora wanted to make the most of a little sunny spot by the house.

Growing vegetables near to the kitchen in tall beds that require no bending, no digging and no weeding is ideal for them.

Woronora's steep, leafy valley blocks leave little flat, easy-to-work ground, which is where a raised bed really helps. Bringing the soil up to a comfortable height right beside the house puts fresh produce a few steps from the kitchen, and the reservoir below keeps it watered through the dry months.

A sunny pocket like this will grow herbs, salad and a good range of vegetables. Built from durable, food-safe timber, this self-watering raised bed is made to last on a tricky riverside site. UrbanVeg builds raised garden beds and vegetable garden beds across Woronora and the Sutherland Shire.
