Welcome to Planter on the Side Blogspot!

Sunny Lambeth Allen and Teresa Daugherty Hechenbleikner formed Planters on the side in 2008 out of a passion and desire to share our planting knowledge with Charlotte and surrounding area. We were asking God to reveal a career that would allow us to tap our gifts and truly enjoy work. Our vision began to take form and everything fell into place which we took as a sign that we were on the right track. We create container gardens using organic products and mostly locally grown plant material. Our work includes a variety of plants from herbs and annual flowers to trees, shrubs and perennials. Now we service clients from Charleston, SC to Lake Norman, NC. We hope you enjoy our gardening information and pictures of our beautiful creations!

Hugelkultur Bed




“Hügelkultur” is a German word meaning “hill culture,” or “mound culture.” A hügelkultur mound consists of a raised plant bed built up over decaying wood and other compostable materials. A practice that has been used for generations by German and Eastern European peoples, it is now getting some serious attention from permaculture aficionados for its excellent results. 

I was not familiar with this but check out the Proven Winner post. It a great idea!
