Owner and garden designer
Dorothy draws every bed with a tape measure and a kitchen chair, sitting and standing, before anything is built.
About us
A small crew that starts by asking where you sit
Upright Garden Co. is six people in Minneapolis who build gardens for people who can't, or would rather not, get down to the ground.
Dorothy designs every garden with a tape measure and a kitchen chair, sitting and standing, so each bed is sized to the person who will use it. Ubah leads the build crew, Anh keeps the calendar and the family thread, and three crew members build and plant alongside them.

Anh answers the phone, keeps the calendar and is the one to call if you are the son or daughter.
