Cristi Day is as passionate about gardening as Brian Day is about outdoor adventures and gear. She firmly believes that the world would be a better place if more of us spent time with our hands in the soil. If we get to that soil by ripping up some sod, all the better. After all, why would you grow grass when you can grow food?

Raised bed gardens are beautiful, productive and therapeutic. They can be as small as a single pot or a big as your dreams. You don’t need a lot of tools. You don’t need a lot of time. Your world will be better for the effort.

Who’s life wouldn’t be a little bit better with more fresh veggies and less lawn to mow?

This page is dedicated to Cristi’s gardening adventures past and present. We hope they inspire you to dig up your own yard, plant some food and flowers and begin a gardening adventure of your own.
