Eco Garden Systems recently did our first show at the San Diego Fall Home and Garden show at the Del Mar fairgrounds. We met so many fantastic people who showed a lot of interest in our very unique gardens. We enjoyed all the questions posed by attendees, as well as the constructive input on the size of our garden and potential quantity of produce production. When first designing the garden, one of our main goals was to introduce a garden that would save on water usage and minimize the use of physical labor. The self-watering feature is what drew a lot of the people into the booth. We set up one of our gardens to display the sprinkler system on top to demonstrate how water is recirculated from the reservoir below; it gave most of our garden enthusiasts an opportunity to see how the automatic watering system works and why it is beneficial to garden vegetables and flowers. Throughout the event, we had so many wonderful conversations with avid gardeners who gave great advice and tips to gardening in the California area, as well as in the southwest in general. We went home from this show feeling like our gardens would address so many of the issues gardeners face when starting a garden and when maintaining one. The sustainability, water usage and the low maintenance of the Eco Garden Systems not only contribute to its name, but also help the environment and those who are looking for productive and organic gardening. Thank you San Diego! We’re looking forward to demonstrating how our gardens can help others at the Minneapolis Home & Garden Show next year.

Eco Garden Systems participated in the annual Garden Expo in Madison in February 2017. The show was a great opportunity to showcase our newest garden design, which will be available in May of 2017. We met a lot of wonderful people and exchanged some great gardening ideas for the future season. Plus, the Wisconsin Vegetable Gardeners came by to interview our founder Donald Riesterer on the benefits of owning one of these gardens. Most of our visitors shared that one of the best benefits of our Eco Gardens is not having to bend or get on the ground to garden. Other garden features that were popular with show attendees included: The self-watering aspect caught the interest of most attendees. Many liked the flexibility offered with this feature and appreciated knowing they don’t have to worry about soil drying out if it’s not attended to for a few days. Small pest control was another attribute that was appreciated by many of the gardeners. With spring almost upon us, we are excited to offer gardeners a new innovative garden that can solve many common garden problems. Thank you to everyone who stopped and visited with us.
