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 Cabbage?

    You can start cabbage indoors early in the season. Use a seedling tray, plant one seed per cell, about 1/2" deep and cover with soil. When the seedling has 3 true leaves, you can move it outside.

    Cabbage initially needs lots of water making them perfectly suited for life in your self watering gardens, with a constant supply of water they also grow much faster.  If leaves are spreading to other squares or begin to turn yellow, trim them back. Heavy mulch will help retain moisture and keep soil cool throughout the hotter months.

    Harvesting

    Cut off the entire head where the plant meets the root, just below the surface of the soil. You can harvest them as soon as the head feels firm, before it begins to open at the top. If any cabbage heads are beginning to open, harvest them immediately. Feel free to experiment on size here and see what flavour you prefer depending on size. 

    Helpful Tips and Tricks

    Rotate your cabbages every season you plant them to avoid pests and disease.

    Preparing and using

    Cabbage can be eaten cooked or raw. Cabbage makes a great addition to a salad, a stir fry or even a sandwich! Try making sauerkraut from cabbage and enjoy all year long. If kept in a cool dry place, cabbage will last weeks after being harvested.
