Kitchen Gardens of Westchester now offers custom cedar tomato cage enclosures, designed and built to protect heirloom tomatoes and other prized vegetables when traditional fencing is not available—or when existing fencing is not enough.
We designed a combination greenhouse + enclosed garden that functions as a true four-season growing system while still feeling like an inviting outdoor room.
Some of the best kitchen gardens start in the most overlooked spaces. For this Dobbs Ferry home, we turned an unused, weed-choked corner of the property into a clean, four-level tiered garden—built for easy access, clear structure, and low-maintenance paths.
When a kitchen garden sits on a slope, every design decision matters—sun angles shift throughout the day, paths can steal growing space, and uneven ground makes traditional beds feel awkward.
How can you ensure all your seeds germinate successfully? Whether you’re starting seeds indoors or sowing directly in the garden, germination can feel unpredictable.
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.
