Blitz FAQs

  • TBD. Spring 2027.

  • Raised Garden Beds installed through the BLITZ are 4 feet by 8 feet in length and width and 10 inches in height. This gives you 32 square feet of gardening space per box. With the purchase of your raised garden bed comes a cubic yard of Blue Ribbon Organics raised bed soil mix.

    Unfortunately, we do not installed raised beds on legs that lift it off of the ground. We are able to double stack beds to increase the height and accessibility for those who cannot bend as low — please double your order for double stacked beds and indicate you would like it stacked in the order notes!

  • Many grocery, hardware and dollar stores sell seeds, and garden centers carry transplants to get a head start on the growing season. We recommend purchasing plants from our friends at Weber’s Greenhouse, a nonprofit involved with Teens Grow Greens! Youth environmental projects are near and dear to us at VGI and we encourage you to support them.

  • Yes! You can order just soil and volunteers will come to drop it off wherever you’d like during the event (just be sure to indicate where you want it dropped or spread in your registration form).

    Please note that homeowner’s are restricted to 2 cubic yards, and community gardens looking to order more than 2 cubic yards must order at least 8 cubic yards to qualify for special drop off. Don’t know how many cubic yards to order? (1 yard = 27 cubic feet). Here is a free calculator:
