We think the best way to celebrate
World Water Day is to honor the brands that are doing their part to reduce consumption and make a difference.
Vita Gardens is doing just that. The company is on a mission to help gardeners from North America to Africa grow organic,
healthy food in less space with less water. This spring, the company expands
its line of Keyhole Gardens with four new portable versions.
Originally
developed in Africa as a way to grow food in extreme heat and drought
conditions, the keyhole gardening technique works by creating a space for both composting
and growing in one raised garden bed. Keyhole gardens use up to 70 percent less
water than a typical raised bed and produce more vegetables in a shorter amount
of time.
Available
for pre-order online, the new line expands on the popular Classic
6x6
African Keyhole Garden Bed by offering the same keyhole garden technology
in a variety of sizes and styles. The Classic 4x4, 3x5 and
Urban
keyhole garden beds provide the same benefits of the traditional bed in
compact, portable designs. The minimalist Urban garden comes in a sleek, wood
finish with a 10- year warranty while the other options are backed by 20-year
warranty.
Eddie
DeJong, Vita Gardens’ head of business development and design, says the
expanded collection meets the needs of gardeners who are looking to utilize
small spaces.
“The new Keyhole
Gardens fit in smaller garden spaces allowing gardeners to grow more food
efficiently in a tighter space,” says DeJong. “We want to inspire people by
giving them options to grow healthy, organic vegetables, fruit and herbs
whether they live on a small plot of land in the city or on several acres in
the suburbs.”
