I’m growing everything on concrete using raised cedar beds, grow bags, and GreenStalk vertical planters. Whether you’re a new gardener or just looking for ideas, I hope this inspires you to start where you are.
My garden, named KLO, has become a place of peace and purpose, especially after a tough season. This video is part tour, part testimony.

Thanks so much for watching my Spring Garden Tour! It’s my first full year growing food in containers—and I’ve learned a lot.
What are you growing this season? Or thinking about starting?

WOW!! Great post! What large, and beautiful garden beds. Marlo seems to love those strawberries.
Wow! This is so amazing ❤. I want to grow more and felt that I shouldn’t because I might get overwhelmed but seeing 50 different plants in your space and how organized they are gives me the green light so thank you for such a detailed video. Yes please do a harvesting video. I’d love to see it! Love your garden 🥰. 🧑🏽🌾🧑🏽🌾🧑🏽🌾🧑🏽🌾
Thanks for sharing your garden. What type of soil do you use for your plants? The leaves look amazing! Is your garden south facing?I’m growing in containers as well and I’m In zone 6
This is amazing! Love the video! A garden of love and abundance ❤
It's Beautiful
I am super proud of you!! 💕
Go sister 🔆
❤❤❤
Lovely garden! ❤
We just moved and now I garden in containers on my patio and around my pool as well.
I have around 10 fruit trees in the ground, but nothing compared to my previous home.
Thankfully that experience prepared me for this new one since my life is a little too busy right now to try and dig up my backyard to plant.
What a great looking garden. Gardening has become my therapy also 😊

Congratulations to you! Wonderful job. I am new at gardening too. I also purchased those cedar garden beds. I’m loving it. I have started with peanuts and they are coming up good. I started pepper and others seedlings inside the house, but that didn’t work out too well, probably low light. However, I am enjoying your video and look forward to seeing more.
Man I like that strawberry stand! I didn't think you could get them growing like that in containers. I'm a bit old school and don't do that much container gardening although this year I have tried some containers along with my regular garden. Yours are so nice!
I love your containers planting. I don't have a real Green stack, but do have a stack planter. I like to plant my herbs in it. I do cook my cabbage leaves when I can't get a head. I normally boil them, but am going to try to stir fry them next time. Tfs
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful reason to start a garden. nice work !
What a beautiful & serene space you’ve created! I can imagine the garden is definitely the icing on the cake.
Those beets look so beautiful. They’re calling my name. There’s nothing like growing your own food
Wonderful space, just love it..new friend here.
Yes you can eat the cabbage leaves!
Where did you get your towers from?
