Gardening in Toronto

What a Toronto yard asks of a raised bed.

Toronto gardening is a space problem before it is a soil problem. A semi in Leslieville or Roncesvalles has a side yard a few feet wide and a back garden shared with a garage; a condo on the waterfront has a balcony and a building manager with rules about weight. An elevated bed answers both: it stands on legs, so it goes where the sun is rather than where the ground is, and it comes off the floor if you move.

The lake runs the calendar. Environment Canada's 1991-2020 normals for the Toronto City station put the last spring frost around 11 April and the first fall frost around 6 November, about 208 frost-free days, while Pearson, inland and to the northwest, runs from 27 April to 20 October. Downtown and along the waterfront you can set out tomatoes in the second week of May and pick into November; in North York and Scarborough hold them until the Victoria Day weekend. The city is zone 7a on the 1991-2020 hardiness map, a full zone up from the 1961-1990 edition.

For a balcony, the numbers to check are the filled weight on the size page and your building's balcony rules, then the carton for the elevator. Narrow beds in 24 or 36 inches keep the weight down and leave the walkway. For a semi, a Wide 48 inch Deep bed fits across the end of most side yards and takes two rows of greens or a row of tomatoes with basil in front. Rooftops want the lightest sizes and a paver under each foot on the membrane.

Shipping to Toronto 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 Toronto.

Do you ship cedar raised beds to Toronto?

Yes. Shipping to Toronto 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.

Which size suits a Toronto yard?

Narrow 36 Standard: the balcony bed: light, one row of greens and herbs, and it fits the wall side of the walkway Wide 48 Deep: the semi's side yard or back garden, a row of tomatoes at working height with basil in front 36 inch planter box: a front porch or a stoop in the old city, flowers and herbs at seat height

Will a filled bed be too heavy for a condo balcony?

The rule is your building's, not ours, and it is written as a load, so take the number with you. Every size page prints the filled weight range for that bed, worked out from the soil volume and the bed's own weight, and the smallest Narrow Standard beds come in at about what two adults standing together weigh, spread over four feet. Ask the property manager with that figure and the footprint in hand, and put the bed against the wall rather than the railing.

Does the courier deliver to a condo lobby?

Yes, to the lobby or the concierge, and the carton is flat enough for a standard elevator: the longest piece inside is the long board, the tallest an end panel with its legs on. Buildings that require a booked delivery window or a loading dock can note it in the order and we pass it to the courier. If the concierge cannot take deliveries, ship it to a workplace or collect it in Bolton.
