The Creative Keys edible garden is part of the music studio, and enhances the music experience for students and families. The studio owner, Lynnette, was spending over an hour hand watering every day, but her efforts weren't translating into the bountiful harvest she hoped for. The joy of gardening was hampered, and we knew it could be better. There was so much potential to create a sensory expansion of the music studio through this garden.

We incorporated raised beds as the first priority. These are not just for aesthetics—they make gardening more accessible and comfortable while allowing a lot of control over the soil.

Next, the trellis archways add a charming touch to the garden while maximizing vertical growing space. This is perfect for vining plants like snap peas and tomatoes, which thrive in this environment.

In the next phase, we planted grape and passion vines along the block wall. These vines serve a dual purpose: shading the walls from reflective heat and creating a cooler environment. We complement this with mulched pathways, which help to restore and cool the soil.

Around the garden's perimeter, fruit trees will provide not just food, but also shade and habitat for wildlife, making the space a sanctuary.

Finally, our coaching offers ongoing support, ensuring a smooth learning curve for quick success. This way, Creative Keys can enjoy the fruits of their labor—literally and figuratively—without feeling overwhelmed.

This is our design + installation process:

We begin with a thorough consultation. Here, we aim to understand the client’s goals and lifestyle. This step is crucial because it ensures the design fits seamlessly into their daily routine and long-term vision. We will talk about your goals, aesthetic, budget, lifestyle and habits that will impact garden design.

After gathering insights, we move to the design draft. This is where our creativity flourishes, as we translate ideas into tangible plans.

Next, we hold a design meeting to review and refine these plans. This collaborative step ensures the client's needs are met and aligns everyone on the path forward.

After design revisions are made to incorporate feedback, we perfect the plan and discuss strategies for installation.

Installation plans will have detailed recommendations based on timing, budget, and client desires.
