Deep winter can feel like a “pause” button—frozen ground, bare beds, and not much to do outside. But for a truly successful kitchen garden (especially in Westchester & Lower CT), winter is the best time to plan.
Kitchen Garden of Westchester founder Bruce Davison designed and built a solution that embraced the terrain rather than fighting it: a tiered raised-bed garden that follows the natural slope of the land.
On a large estate in Sleepy Hollow, Westchester, NY, the owners envisioned more than a beautiful backyard garden—they wanted a truly productive space that could help feed their large family and support the community
For many homeowners in Westchester, the dream of growing fresh vegetables and herbs comes with a familiar frustration: deer browsing overnight, rabbits nibbling seedlings, birds pecking ripening produce, and insects stressing plants before they ever reach the kitchen.
this project by Kitchen Garden of Westchester focused on building a garden that was both beautiful and highly functional—designed for daily use, consistent production, and easy maintenance.
