At Rita’s we take a custom approach to your garden.
Garden Installation
We can coach you through the DIY garden box process or our team can install a garden for you. Our 4’x8’x12” standard garden box uses local, untreated lumber plus our organic veggie blend compost/topsoil mix. Prices start at $675 and we can build custom lengths, widths and heights to fit your space. We can also install timer-run drip irrigation system.
Garden Guidance
This is our most popular service! Since we can garden year-round in the Lowcountry, we divide the year into two planting seasons – Spring + Summer Season beginning in February and Fall + Winter Season beginning in September. A Rita’s Roots Garden Expert works one-on-one with you in your garden to keep you on the planting calendar and to teach you all aspects of raising homegrown organic vegetables, flowers and herbs.
We work with you (and your children!) to teach soil preparation, planting, watering, fertilization, insect and disease management, crop rotation, harvest, preservation, and more. Garden Guidance visits range from 60-90 minutes and are scheduled every 2-5 weeks depending on your experience and request.
We take care of sourcing high quality organic gardening materials, such as plants, seeds, fertilizers, compost, sprays, trellises, etc. We bring it all to you!

Garden Maintenance
Want fresh vegetables and a beautiful garden, but can’t find the time to tend? We offer the same high-quality service and care as Garden Guidance all while you are out. We can even deliver the harvest to your door. A Rita’s Roots Garden Expert tends to your garden every 1-2 weeks and brings all supplies necessary to grow you a beautifully productive organic garden.
Garden Planning
Already have a garden, but not satisfied with the results or uncertain of what to do next? Rita’s Roots can create a DIY planting and maintenance plan for your garden and be your source for high quality organic gardening materials including plants, seeds, soils, fertilizers and more.
Garden Walk
We come to your garden for a walk and assess your garden troubles to offer you solutions to get you back on the path to productivity.
