Maintenance & Care
Maintaining a garden or garden landscape is not an easy task.
It requires a unique knowledge, specialized skill set, and a lot of weeding, weeding, and more weeding!! If they are not properly cared for, your plants will begin to grow into each other, produce smaller yields, and grow in disorderly clumps. Understanding when and how to harvest, proper methods of pruning, and how to ward off harmful bugs, pests and animals are just a few of the essentials.

FAQs About Our CT Vegetable Garden Services
Late summer and early fall is the perfect time to get started thinking about a new vegetable garden.
Why not wait till spring?
The success of the garden depends on soil preparation -- poorly prepared soil may not have the nutrients necessary for plants to flourish. Grass will need to be removed from the area before starting the garden. Removing the grass ensures ample room for plants to grow and eliminates competition for water and nutrients. At Ornamentals we start preparing the soil the fall before we plan to plant to allow time for soil conditioning and improvements, ensure proper drainage and ensure everything is ready for an early spring planting.
What about existing gardens?
It's always best to start planning for the next growing season in the fall. If you're looking to amend soil or add additional beds getting started in the fall allows you to make sure you're ready for planting in spring.
What about plants?
We source our plants from local organic farms throughout Connecticut, ensuring the food you feed your family is both healthy and supports local farmers. Our team will help you select the number of plants as well as varieties based on a number of factors such as garden size, family size, environmental conditions etc.
I have a small yard, can you still help me create a garden?
The short answer is, Yes. Even in limited space our team can help you setup different options such as container gardens or vertical gardens. We have helped many people in Hartford and other areas of Connecticut realize there gardening dreams even in limited spaces.
Does Ornamentals offer a free consultation?
Yes. We offer our complimentary consultation to fully describe the features and benefits of our custom raised bed gardens and work with you to determine what size garden would be best for your family, the options you may want and to select the fruit and vegetables your family would like in your garden. Our Backyard Garden Consultant will then assess your backyard for hours and orientation of sunlight, soil drainage, and water hook-ups for the irrigation system. Our Backyard Garden Consultant will provide you with possible locations of your future garden incorporating the specifications of the assessment and how it will best fit in your landscaping.
