Garden Gallery: The Driveway Garden

June 14, 2013

Are you looking around your garden wondering where you might be able to make a little extra space for a veggie patch?  Perhaps you might take a little inspiration from Nancy Steiner who transformed her driveway into a garden that feeds her family.

When Nancy and landscape designer Leslie Needham realized that this was the place that got 8 hours of sun a day and it was easily accessible for picking as the family arrived home at the end of the day and headed into the house, — the decision to transform the driveway into a garden was obvious.

Using a variety of space saving options (like growing cucumbers up on tuteurs and putting every spare inch to work) they were able to create a garden that feeds her whole family – 2 adults and 5 teenagers!

I so wish I could share the before of this….but I think we can all imagine a car parked here an agree that this is much much better.

    wonderful ideas and pictures but every time i see a vegetable patch, i think of the deer who constantly have a dinner”buffet” and it is so frustrating after i put in so much effort. does anyone have the same problem out there?????? yesterday they ate my succulents……..what about a posting on fencing in our gardens with style???? we can grow the veggies but they need a fortress around them…..love your blog. thank you for inspiring us……

    I’m obsessed with raised beds surrounded by gravel. Something about how neat it looks against the bushy plants.

    A brilliant idea! My compliments also to the stone mason. I adore dry lay walls in gardens. They give a garden strength.
    Have really enjoyed reading Studio Blog!
