Back in April I wrote about Heart Beet Gardening, a cute lil local gardening company run by three Marlborough School alumnae — Megan Bomba (right), Sara Carnochan (right), and Kathleen Redmond — who’ll help you set up your own private, organic edible landscape.

At that time, the girls had just put in a 1,000-square-foot native-and-edible garden — including pomegranate, fig and persimmon trees surrounded by artichokes, lemongrass, fennel, chives, blackberries, grapes, and other herbs and edible plants — for $5000.

This is how it all looked 4 months ago:

Here’s how it looks now:

Need a lil help getting your own edible garden started? Call Heart Beet, and you could have one set up in just a week. The cost for a 100-square-foot garden with a raised bed runs between $1,500 to $2,500 for set-up, depending on the condition of the soil, the type of irrigation system desired, and other factors particular to your garden.

Once the garden’s set up, get gardening yourself! Heart Beet can help you maintain it for $75 a month, but the company’s overall goal is to get more people growing stuff.
