Gardening in Brampton

What a Brampton yard asks of a raised bed.

A new Brampton yard in Springdale, Mount Pleasant or Castlemore is a rectangle of sod over compacted fill, and digging it is a season's work. A raised bed skips the soil problem: you fill it with the soil you want, at the depth you want, on legs that keep the roots out of the clay entirely.

Brampton sits in zone 6b on the 1991-2020 hardiness map, up from 5b on the 1961-1990 edition. The closest Environment Canada station with frost normals is Pearson, on the Mississauga boundary, where the last spring frost averages 27 April and the first fall frost 20 October. Up in Mayfield and Castlemore, away from the lake and a little higher, count on a week later in spring and a week earlier in fall, and set tomatoes out around the long weekend in May rather than before it.

Brampton is our nearest city, so pickup is a short drive up Highway 50 if you would rather not wait for the courier, and a family plot of two Wide 72 Deep beds fits along a fence line in most lots. Put the beds on the patio or a gravel strip rather than the sod; new lawns settle for two years, and a level bed on a settling lawn is a paver job every spring.

Shipping to Brampton is included in the price, by courier, flat in one carton. Deliveries begin January 2027. Every Founding Batch order is delivered by 28 February 2027. Pickup at the shop in Bolton is welcome too.

Questions

Buying a cedar raised bed in Brampton.

Do you ship cedar raised beds to Brampton?

Yes. Shipping to Brampton is included in the price, by courier, flat in one carton. Deliveries begin January 2027. Every Founding Batch order is delivered by 28 February 2027. Pickup at the shop in Bolton is welcome too.

How many beds does a family need?

Two Wide 72 Deep beds is enough growing space for tomatoes, peppers, beans, greens and herbs for a family of four through the season if you sow in succession; the size page prints the square feet. Start with one if you have not grown before, because a full 72 inch bed teaches you more in one summer than a plan does. Add the second the following spring, and the two match because the boards come from the same stock.

Can I pick up in Bolton instead of shipping?

Yes. The shop is about 25 minutes north on Highway 50, off Ellwood Drive West. Say so in the notes box at checkout or email after ordering, and we hold the carton for you, Monday to Friday between 9:00 and 5:00; the carton fits in most SUVs with the seats down. Pickup does not change a Founding Batch price, because shipping is part of the batch cost rather than an add-on at the checkout.
