You can almost taste the fresh vegetables and smell the rich, fertile soil! Niki’s garden is a dream come true.

Sturdy raised beds made from rot-resistant hemlock wood make this garden easy to maintain. A tall fence protects everything from the marauding deer.

Never content to grow the same old varieties, Niki always tries a diversity of different tomatoes and other vegetables.

Flowers like cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus) add beauty and help attract pollinators to the garden.

Niki is a pro at using season extenders like this cold frame to extend her garden season long after most people have given up.
