About
Richard Evans
Richard Evan U.S. Air Force Veteran, specializing in custom-built Elevated Victory Garden Boxes (EVGB).
Handcrafted from 100% premium cedar, each box is glued, screwed, and nailed for lasting strength—built Texas tough to endure the elements.
Proudly made in Spring Branch, H-Town, with a three-year craftsmanship warranty you can trust.
Beyond the workshop, I’m a volunteer at the VA Hospital and an active garden club member, giving back through service and sustainable growing.
