A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall I wish...

I love to go to Sam's Club and just walk around...one, because if I walk through every aisle in the thing just once, I have walked a mile. Two, because I LOVE to see all of the stuff that they have.....which they change out often enough to hold my attention (and you never know if your going to see a good deal). Three, the kids like to see everything also and it keeps THEM entertained for an entire hour when we stroll through and chat about the things we see (Maddie STILL points out 'our' vacuum every time we go down that aisle!). Anyways, our Sam's has just put a rather large addition onto the store so they are getting tons of new and AWESOME stuff in. They are also getting in their gardening supplies....which usually makes me drool. Today I stopped in to pick up some pictures that I have printed and decided to take a quick stroll to the back of the store to see if they still have something in stock that I really would like to get (it is in the clearance and marked down section).

I got half way to the back of the store and saw it.....the most GORGEOUS thing I have ever seen in the history of all things to be seen! It is called the Backyard Botanical Complete Gardening System and it is super cool! I told Stephen if we had an extra $800 laying around I'd totally get it. ...he laughed also. But I am going to try to go back tomorrow and take some pictures of it and try to figure out if it would be possible to build it. I found the link to it so that you could all see it. I like how it is raised and kind of fenced in so that they dogs couldn't get to the veggies and such...
Gardening System
By the way...the website has it listed for $999 but the store had it for $899...which I thought interesting. I didn't think that Sam's did introductory pricing.

I think this could be much cheaper to build your own, Jenn. But it is quite cool to look at.

I think it is soo expensive because of the cedar that it is made of. It has some sort plastic tubs that raise the planting beds up off the ground. I'll have more time to look at it tomorrow when I go. I was in a rush because I had to get to a meeting.

I realize it is always cheaper to built these things....I just loved how it looked and everything. Stephen said something about maybe being able to build something similar to it. I told him I'd probably want to make it wider...more like a 12'x4' instead of 8'x8'. He said I have alot on my to-do list for this year already.



Do you ever see anything and thing "Man! I wish soooo bad I could have that!?"

Golly Jenn, I would love to see the System in person!!!---But I bet it is a good thing that I will not be able to---- --OPlease keep us updated if Stephen does in fact decide to build you one.

Hope vegetables grown in that thing taste really good.

I think if we build something like this we'd to it together. I love building things. I used to love to play with legos, lincoln logs, and tinker toys. Now I like playing with drills, saws, wood, nails, and screws.
