This is strictly for market research! I’m considering offering turnkey edible gardens in the Cary area for people who would love to grow their own vegetables and herbs but aren’t sure where to start — or just don’t have the time to set everything up themselves.
The idea is that I handle everything: the containers or cedar raised bed, soil and compost, amendments, seasonal plants and seeds, mulch, garden design, assembly, planting, and setup. You’d be left with a completely planted garden that’s ready to grow.
I’m considering starting around:

$450 for a 3-container edible garden
$750 for a complete cedar raised-bed garden

I’d also offer optional seasonal refreshes with new plants, ongoing garden management, and coaching for anyone who wants to learn how to maintain the garden themselves.
I know a lot of people love the idea of having a vegetable garden but get overwhelmed by figuring out what to plant, when to plant it in our area, how much soil they need, or how to get started.

Would something like this interest you? And do those starting prices feel reasonable for a completely installed and planted garden?
I’d genuinely love to hear local opinions while I figure out whether there’s enough interest to offer this!

What is everyone’s preference for internet? I am moving to an apartment in Cary off of NC HWY 55 and want to get the best price/quality.

Hey everyone, my fiancé and I are planning to have a small quick marriage ceremony this weekend. Obviously very last minute, just us and a few family members.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a good park or spot at a lake that would be good to do this at? In Cary or the surrounding areas would be good.
Thanks for any suggestions!

My husband will be working in Chapel Hill and we want to be live closer to Cary/Morrisville… are there any neighborhoods with single family homes which are walkable to a grocery store, library, etc? I think downtown cary would be too far - we are looking for a 30 minute commute or less to chapel hill. What is Amberly like? Husband and I prefer more urban areas to densely wooded areas which feel more sparsely populated. Thank you in advance!! We would appreciate all recommendations

Anyone know of a local or local-ish farm or homestead in the area that sells eggs? I'm hoping to find somewhere that I can regularly buy pasture/free range eggs other than the grocery store. TIA!

Anyone else experiencing power issues? House in Braeloch neighborhood and the lights started flickering and AC reset itself. Trying to figure out if it is just our house or a larger issue.

I’ve (23f) been looking around on maps but I feel like I should come straight to the source and ask for fun cheap things for younger couples to do together, I’ve never been to NC before and I would love some suggestions on what to do and what to see especially if they’re cheap, please no sarcasm like “best thing to do is leave” I need help!! Thank you so much ^_^

We’ve been going to Harmony for a few years now, but their pricing has just pushed us away at this point. I understand things are hard right now and basic costs on things have gone up. But they just quoted my dog with moderate tartar build up a $4k dental cleaning. I want to give my dog great care, but I am tired of being pushed by them to “just put it on a credit card”. I have that option, but I also know we cannot afford that either.

They just left a bad taste in my mouth with the vets they have guilt tripping me and budding in on how I can pay and would like to get some recommendations on vets that you adore and feel are priced fairly, so I can at least try and get a second opinion. Thank you!

Looking for an honest BMW shop in the Cary/Apex area. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Anyone know if any of the local gardening stores or local garden sellers have lettuce seedlings? I had a person on facebook marketplace but they aren't selling this year. I saw a few on there but nothing close by.

Looking for like 4-6 seedlings.

Thanks!

So, I'm looking to relocate like everybody else from NY. I really like Cary & I think it has a lot to offer but I can see already that the prices are almost the same as here on Long Island 🙄 I'm looking for neighborhoods outside Cary, or close to it, that are nice & maybe nobody else is looking at right now? Help!

Hi, I’m looking for recommendations of where I can buy a pre-made charcuterie board for a party. I want it to be nicer than a standard one at a grocery store. Normally, I would make it myself with a variety of cheeses from Trader Joe’s, but I won’t have the time. Any recommendations?

Hi—just took a job in Cary, right off of crescent green dr. I’m able to live with someone in chapel hill, for normal work commute time (7:30 am/5 pm) what’s the general commute time about?
