Build Your Own Self-Watering Gardens
GardenWells are a completely modular Passive Sub-Irrigation System allowing you to create Self-Watering Gardens any shape and any size—from any material.
Wood
Protect It From The Inside Out | The food-safe waterproof liner shields the woodwork from soil & water, preventing rot and leaks while helping the garden last 2-3x longer than a traditional wood raised bed.
Metal
Buffer The Summer Heat | As the metal heats up, the hidden water reservoir beneath the soil creates a cooling buffer during hot weather, helping protect roots from heat stress and keeping plants from drying out.
Concrete/Masonry
Simplify The Installation | GardenWells combine drainage and passive irrigation in one simple system—reducing the need for drain rock and extensive irrigation infrastructure while maintaining ideal soil moisture.
