“A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.”
-Liberty Hyde Bailey
Who Is Valley Vegetable Gardens?

In 2019 when the pandemic began, Paul was home from work for months like many other people. While society was struggling to find common supplies and certain foods, he immediately utilized his time at home to build a large garden with raised beds. He felt a strong urge to do so not just simply to grow a few tomatoes for fun, but to build and grow a sustainable food source for his family and friends for the foreseeable future. To have control over the quality, quantity, and availability of part of his family’s food source. That’s when the idea for Valley Vegetable Gardens was born and the rest is in the soil.
