Reduce maintenance from daily to weekly - or less
Improve yields and grow healthier plants

Our patented food safe Self-Watering System will also:

Sequester Rain Water
Help you overcome droughts
Remove the guess work around watering
Eliminate mess and offer drainage control
Add 2-3x the lifespan to you garden by protecting it from rot

LifeSpace Wood Finishes

LifeSpace Gardens Guarantee

Your LifeSpace Garden is crafted out of Western Red Cedar, harvested from the forests of British Columbia. The natural characteristics and high oil content of this beautiful wood makes it ideal to use outside and withstand the seasonal elements. Cedar, like all natural materials, will season uniquely and accrue it own natural patina and character over time. Small cracks, silvering, knot holes and weathering are all part of this natural process. However, with proper care, your garden can last a lifetime.

The LifeSpace Guarantee takes this natural process to mind. The wood will age, but the craftsmanship will remain. We guarantee the structural integrity of your LifeSpace Garden & the functioning of your GardenWell sub-irrigation system.

how do i grow swiss chard

Swiss chard can be directly sown in the early spring and they can continue to be sown until summer.

Swiss chard may bolt in the summer heat so make sure to keep it well watered and mulched to avoid bolting. If your Chard does not bolt in its first season, it will in it's second as it is a biennial. If you have the space, try letting it flower for the bees.

There are many different varieties of swiss chard, try experimenting to see which varieties you like best.

Helpful Tips and Tricks

Mulch your swiss chard with loose hay so they can be harvested well into winter, and remove the hay in early spring to get an early harvest. You’ll need to plant new seeds each year as swiss chard will harvest for two spring seasons.
