Vego Garden provides tools to help gardeners grow their own food To Robert Xiong, gardening is not only a method of relaxation but a lifestyle and skill that promotes food quality. Xiong said he opened his own gardening business Vego Garden in July 2020 to facilitate gardening for the average gardener and to help gardeners grow their own food. How it started Xiong began gardening after he purchased his rst home in The Woodlands area eight years ago and realized the signi cance of having a rewarding hobby. “I have a pretty big backyard, and it was all grass with not even a tree,” Xiong said. “So I started to build some garden beds and to grow my own vegetables and also planted some fruit trees.” Like other hobbies people picked up during COVID-19, Xiong said gardening is a pastime people turn to to relieve stress. How its going Vego Garden specializes in designing and selling garden products like garden beds, planters and irrigation systems, alongside greenhouses. Vego Garden fosters connections through garden- ing. As a part of the community, Xiong said Vego Garden has collaborated with over 200 local schools and nonpro ts and donated 1,000 garden beds to help build community gardens. “We’re passionate about building greener communities and helping more people reconnect with nature, grow their own food, and experience the joys of gardening,” Xiong said.
Vego Garden collaborates with local schools and organizations to promote food quality.
