Since launching into the UK market at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2018, the revolutionary raised garden bed product Vegepod has seen sales take off in a big way. Vegepod was designed and developed in Australia nine years ago by Matt Harris, who was frustrated by his failed attempts at growing his own fruit and vegetables. The unique product has been brought the UK by husband and wife team Neil Urry and Alex Allen, who saw the amazing potential of Vegepod. Neil and Alex, directors of Vegepod UK Ltd, have forged ahead with significant growth and presence in both the consumer market and wholesale channels across the UK and Ireland. Such has been the worldwide attraction of Vegepod it is now sold 10 countries globally, prompting Neil to say: “We are confident that the UK gardening public will embrace our product. In 2019 we plan to continue to develop the market by offering it to sale to
selected garden centres. We stand by our ethos of ‘making growing vegetables easy and fun for everyone, everywhere’. We want to make it achievable for those less likely to be gardening.” The benefits of using a Vegepod vs a traditional in ground or wooden framed garden bed include: 4Waist height gardening solution easing aches and pains common with in ground gardening. 4Fully contained gardening system including commercial grade canopy. 4In built self-watering irrigation system making it ideal to set on timer when going away on holidays. 4Made from durable and food grade safe quality polypropylene plastic, guaranteed to last 10+ years 4Certified organic growing in your own home. 4Mobility friendly with trolleys available to assist those with mobility needs.
