Welcome to Our Garden — We’re So Glad You Came!

Here you’ll discover key halachic issues found in any home garden:

• Buying new saplings?
  Look for a tag showing the tree is from a supervised nursery — it also tells you when the orlah years end.

• Planting different species?
  Leave 12 cm between two annual plants. No separation is needed between perennials.

• What about plants growing together in one pot?
  Measure the distance where the stems meet the soil — leaves touching is fine!
  Check us: are the stem bases 12 cm apart?

• Have a grapevine?
  Keep annual plants away from it and from under its branches.

• Using herbs from the garden?
  Remember to separate terumot and ma’aserot and check carefully for insects.

• Visit our fruit orchard too!
  Don’t forget to tithe before eating.
