With our unique use of overhead arches, all of your vegetables are within comfortable reach….upward. Better yet, the productivity from vertical growth is increased by as much as 4 times relative to a simple horizontal bed.

We have developed a unique new way to use inexpensive Magnesium Oxide mineral board for your garden structure…this is a breakthrough you need to know about. We also provide computer generated, step by step Instructions for 7 different Overhead Garden modifications that will allow almost anyone to construct their own unit.Importantly, we have adapted Water Wicking techniques for use in our Overhead Garden structures. This is the ultimate in low water usage and water conservation, especially in water starved regions where drought is a major issue.Finally, we have a major section on “Why” you should have an urban garden in the changing World we live in. It covers the security threats of Increased Food Costs, Drought, Distribution System Shutdown, Soil Depletion and Empty Vegetables, and even the threat of shutdowns caused by Cyber Attack. These are the reasons why the experts predict that that over 20% of our vegetables will come from Urban Gardens in the next 6 years.
