Vegetable, Herb, and Cut Flower Gardens
Popular configurations for Acadiana homeowners include a 4×8 vegetable bed for starters, multi-bed kitchen gardens, tall accessible beds for gardeners who don't want to kneel, and decorative stone-walled beds that double as landscape features. We can also install drip irrigation, trellises, and cattle-panel arches for climbers. After installation we walk you through what to plant when — South Louisiana has two growing seasons per year, which throws off a lot of people used to gardening up north.
Why Bloom Local
Lafayette's heavy clay soil and periodic flooding make in-ground vegetable gardening a gamble. Raised beds solve both problems — you control the soil, and water drains. We build beds that are tall enough to work comfortably, filled with a soil blend that's actually suited for growing food, not just dirt hauled in from a pile.
Frequently Asked Questions
How tall should a raised bed be?
12 inches minimum for most vegetables. We often recommend 18–24 inches for comfort and to keep beds out of standing water during heavy rain events.
What do you fill the beds with?
A blend of screened topsoil, compost, and aged organic matter. Not straight bagged garden soil, not just dirt — a mix proportioned for growing food.
Can I plant year-round?
In Acadiana, yes. We have a warm season (tomatoes, peppers, okra, beans) and a cool season (greens, broccoli, carrots, peas). Most raised beds produce 9–10 months of the year here.
