The biggest reason most gardens fail... is water.

LifeSpace Gardens overcome this challenge by emulating the water tables found in all the most abundant natural environments. This technique is know as sub-irrigation and creates the ideal growing conditions for long term sustainability, convenience and growing success.

  • Save more than 80% of the water consumed by traditional techniques

  • 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 bok choy?

    Start your plants indoors in mid-late winter. Use a seedling tray and plant one seed per cell, about 1/4" deep and then cover lightly with soil. Keep soil moist but not wet, and thin any extra seedlings so that there is just one seedling per cell if extra has germinated. Seeds will germinate quickly and you can start hardening off after 2 weeks.

    Direct sow your seeds as early as February at a spacing of 4 per square-foot. Make sure to keep them covered until the weather is consistently above freezing, or if you prefer, direct sow from March-May without protection.

    harvesting

    There are two options for harvesting. You can clip the outer leaves as they become ready and as you need them or you can cut the entire plant at soil level when it is large enough. If you choose the second option and you want Bok Choy all season long re-sow your seeds every couple weeks.
