From greens and herbs to flowers and even dwarf fruit trees, you can grow a variety of edible and ornamental plants in your Caja. In addition to our Caja planting guide, we’ve included a few more ideas for inspiration.
Tea Garden
2x Lemon Balm, 2x Mint, 1x Stevia, 1x Chamomile. Enjoy home-grown herbal tea all summer long! And as a bonus, any extra herbs can be dried and enjoyed all winter long, extending your enjoyment of the season or even making for a great homemade gift idea. Depending on where you live, the lemon balm, mint (and maybe the chamomile) will survive the winter and grow for many years
Salad Garden:
Plant your favourite salad greens to enjoy throughout the growing season. This can be a couple boxes of lettuce, arugula, and mizuna, or a couple boxes of spinach and bok choy.
Holiday Garden:
1x poinsettia, 6x salad greens. This is a great way to bring the garden indoors in the winter for the holiday season. Plant the poinsettia in the middle with salad greens like lettuce and arugula or mixed herbs along the outside.
Pizza/Pesto Garden:
2x Basil, 2x parsley, 2x garlic chives for the pesto garden
1 Box of Tomatoes (2 plants). 1 Box of herbs and toppings such as oregano, basil, thyme, chives, peppers, and eggplant for the pizza garden.
Other Edibles:
If you want to grow fruit trees, try one of the following. Blueberries (one plant per box). Raspberries (1 plant per box). Dwarf citrus tree (1 plant per box).
