More Gardens - More People Growing More Food

Each year in advance of growing season, TLC offers three ways for people to make more space for planting!

  • For people with financial resources to spare - Buy a custom cedar garden bed from south Minneapolis-based Jahnke Carpentry. Jahnke donates 15% of sale proceeds to TLC in support of option two:

  • For people with less or no disposable income - Get a DIY garden bed hand built from salvaged wood and filled with soil/compost mix by TLC, for absolutely free.

  • For anybody and everybody - Build your own garden bed from salvaged wood following simple instructions in our new illustrated guide! Links to web and print PDFs below.

Jahnke Carpentry - Garden bed fundraiser

Buy a bed - Give A Bed

As the snow melts each year, our friends at Jahnke Carpentry sell handmade garden beds to fundraise for our DIY garden starter kits, which we build together with neighbors who have wanted to garden but haven't had room or resources to do it. 

Buy a garden bed, fund garden starter kits for others! More food for everyone! If you’re all set with garden beds already, you can also simply make a donation to our bed building and harvest sharing program.

Feel free to share this promotional flyer with friends and neighbors!

EMail TLC for a Free DIY Garden starter kit

If you would like one of the free DIY garden starter kits we are offering, email us at tclogistics@riseup.net. No cost, no catch, and we will help you assemble everything and get started too if you like.

TLC loves building garden beds by repurposing shipping pallets. It’s fun and easy! We are available to give workshops and skillshares on this and other elements of gardening and autonomous infrastructure work in service of community self-sufficiency and food sovereignty. But this fun little zine contains a lot of what we teach, in printing and reading formats for maximum sharing potential!
