The Harmony Garden was designed to improve the gardening experience for those who use a wheelchair or require increased accessibility.

Ideal for growing herbs, veggies and flowers. The unique design is not only functional, but encourages socializing, collaboration, and multigenerational engagement– some of the most important elements when designing a community space.

This planter is made with full dimensional, custom milled cedar, stainless steel hardware, and signature box joints. The design ensures the woodwork never comes in contact with soil or water, and is completely protected from the inside out. As a result, the life expectancy is 3 times that of standard wooden planters.

Available in Raw Cedar to age naturally – or choose from Silver Patina or Coastal Finish. Please note, due to the design and weight of this garden, we do not recommend adding wheels.

Self-Watering System

The patented SIPs self-watering system is designed to mimic natural water tables, where plants are watered from the bottom up. This natural design, known as sub-irrigation, can reduce water consumption by up to 80%, while significantly reducing daily watering requirements.

We’ve found that the 5.5 gallon reservoir needs to be filled on average 8-12 times a season. We recommend monitoring the float gauge on the WaterStem at least once a week, and 2-3 times a week during extreme heat waves.

The Self-Watering kit includes a WaterStem and float system, a foodsafe, waterproof liner, the 3” tall SIP insert, and an overflow water stem. With the SIP kit installed, the soil depth in each planter is 8".

Cedar Finish

Choosing the Raw Cedar will allow the Western Red Cedar to season uniquely and develop its own natural patina and character over time. Small cracks, silvering, knot holes and weathering are all part of this natural process.

Choosing the premium exterior finishes adds aesthetic longevity to your planter. The finishes used are from OSMO, an environmentally friendly wood finish, safe for humans, animals, and plants. The natural oils enhance the character and tone of the wood.

If your garden has one of the premium exterior finishes, you can either let it weather naturally, or refinish your garden every 2 years to keep it looking fresh.
