COOL THING WE WANT #396: A Garden Box From Victory Gardens And Union Wood Co.

18

Our friends at Victory Gardens are set to retail a new line of garden boxes. One of them is a result of a collaboration with the good folks at Railtown’s Union Wood Co.. All are perfectly suitable for patios, back-yards, rooftops or anywhere else that you’d like to grow some of your own food. Check it out:

“All of our boxes are hand-made by our friends at Union Wood Co. in Vancouver BC, made of untreated cedar and are available with or without castors. Boxes can be delivered right to your door, with everything needed to go inside: Soil, veggies, etc. We also have a whole lot of services that compliment these beds: If you want to grow food, we can help every step of the way. Included in our range of boxes are: Small Utility Boxes and Standard Utility Boxes, as well as a feature collaboration with Union Wood Co., on a Premium Garden Box.”

They’re about to launch their online shop, but as we wait for that to happen you can ring their bell for details and pricing via email: team [at] victorygardensvancouver.ca.
