Raised Beds
Urban Eatin’ will help you design and build custom planter boxes, a.k.a. raised beds. They come in many shapes and sizes, and serve various purposes:
- Raising your vegetable gardens off of the ground, making the garden bed more accessible and easier on your back.
- Containing your soil, without having to dig a large hole into the ground. Visually separating your garden space from the paths and open spaces. Can facilitate children, elderly, and wheel-chair access to your garden.

Trellises & Pergolas
Trellises come in handy when you are growing certain vegetables or fruits that need some support, such as beans, cucumbers, peas, and nasturtiums. Urban Eatin’ can help you build one to suit your needs, as every garden space is different. Pergolas have also been made, which create a larger covered space, and an opportunity for vines to grow vertically and horizontally to cover the space during the summer months (when shade is nice).

Cold-frames
Cold-frames can help extend the short growing season in Winnipeg. They are typically quite small, in order to maximize the concentration of heat. Urban Eatin’ has custom designed various kinds, often using salvaged windows. One design also includes a cold-frame with an auto heat-venting system (enough heat will mechanically open a vent). Buying a small batch of cold-frames (3+) is recommended.
Custom personal/backyard sized greenhouses are also available. Inquire for details.
