Good weather this week allowed us to do some outdoor work, getting further along on our garden plan for 2024. Removing a few trees and shrubs will make way for raised beds and a compost area, and was a quick project for cool weather. We are seeing so many spring signs in our gardens and the environment, and there garden events including "Seedy Saturdays" happening soon. These are great ways to meet other gardeners and get inspired, we are full of garden optimism this time of year.

Welcome to the Culinary Garden, I'm Sarah. I’ve been gardening and growing for many years in all kinds of gardens - from organic farms to small residential spaces - and I’ve learned a lot along the way. I became a Master Gardener in 2021, and am a chef and restauranteur. 

In 2012 Alan and I started the Culinary Garden to grow food for our restaurant, Ducks aren’t Real. Our courtyard area includes raised beds, pergolas, fruit trees, and a greenhouse, and uses organic methods and permaculture ideas to grow food every step of the way, from seed to salad. We are located in the Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada, in the middle of the Maritimes. Our south-facing garden provides a bit of a microclimate, so we are between Canadian climactic zone 5b/6a.

I am making these videos to show you the growing season in a restaurant kitchen garden: planning, planting, harvesting, processing, and of course, problem-solving. I will offering experienced advice as we go from the garden to the kitchen, to inspired you to cultivate your plate no matter what your level of garden experience.
