Welcome to Carolina Kitchen gardens

Everyone Starts as a Newbie…

(EVEN ME!)

Hi, I’m Allison, the founder of Carolina Kitchen Gardens. Before gardening, I had a 30+ year corporate career in the staffing industry. It was all I knew but I never felt settled. Then, a series of life changing events from 2021 to 2024 left me questioning everything I had come to know about my life and myself. I turned to plants and gardening as a form of therapy and I took classes (including Master Gardener) and learned as much as I could. As my gardening knowledge blossomed, I became passionate about propogating and growing from seed.

Today, I help people unearth new passions and forms of therapy in their own backyard…

If you’re new to gardening, start with my South Carolina vegetable garden guide.

If you’re looking for practical tips to plan, build, tend and harvest a garden, you’re in the right place. My goal is to empower you with the tools and strategies you need to take control of your garden – no matter where you’re starting from. Let’s face it: garden success doesn’t happen overnight, but with a solid plan, anyone can make it happen. I’m here to show you how.


Forget YouTube University

No matter if you’ve already tried a garden and failed or if the size of your yard is small, all are welcome at Carolina Kitchen Gardens. That includes newbies, DIYers, and – yes! – even those who are pressed for time.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. You can take our designs and run with them yourself, or you can recruit our help at any stage of the garden tending cycle.

Whether you like to get your hands dirty or would prefer to let us build and tend to your garden, getting started is as easy as booking a free call.
