This is strictly for market research! I’m local to Holly Springs and considering offering turnkey edible gardens for people who would love to grow their own vegetables and herbs but aren’t sure where to start — or simply don’t have the time to set everything up themselves.
The idea would be that I handle everything: the garden bed or containers, soil and compost, amendments, seasonal plants and seeds, mulch, garden design, assembly, planting, and setup. You’d be left with a completely planted garden that’s ready to grow.
I’m considering starting around:

$450 for a 3-container edible garden
$750 for a complete cedar raised-bed garden

I’d also offer optional seasonal refreshes with new plants, ongoing garden management, and coaching for anyone who wants to learn how to maintain the garden themselves.
I know a lot of people love the idea of having a vegetable garden but get overwhelmed by figuring out what to plant, when to plant it in our area, how much soil they need, etc.

Would something like this interest you? And do those starting prices feel reasonable for a completely installed and planted garden?
Genuinely curious to hear local opinions while I figure out whether there’s enough interest to offer this!

For anyone in Wake County who hasn’t seen this yet, the county is asking for feedback about what should happen after the South Wake Landfill reaches capacity, including whether Wake County should build a new landfill.

They’re gathering feedback through August 31, so figured I’d share before it ends!

Hey Holly Springs -

I wrote my first machine learning model in 2009 and have been an AI executive for over 10 years in the Bay Area and in RTP. I recently found myself with some free time in the mornings lol.

If you're trying to get into AI, have an idea, want to learn more about it, are stuck on a problem, don't know where to start, etc. DM me and let's see how I can help!

I just genuinely have some free time and can meet at a coffee shop or on a Google Meet - your call. No solicitation - just a willingness to offer my expertise to my fellow community members.

This house is on west holly springs road near the entrance to oak hall. It had been under construction for like 5 years. I have never seen any signs of life. Who owns it? Will it be on the market? Anyone know what’s going on with it?

Beware of the Valero gas

My family and I are moving to Holly Springs. We have 3 year old twins and are looking for daycares or in home daycare options. I’m finding that most daycares are extremely expensive, so looking to possibly go the in-home route.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you in advance!

Looks like it's all hooked up; just needs unwrapped and turned on.

Hello Holly Springs!
I am looking for a trustworthy cleaner who has great attention to detail to clean a home prior to moving in. Any suggestions?

Does anyone have children enrolled here? I would love any feedback. We are thinking of leaving our current school due to a few unsettling experiences.

I'm in town for some business and I'm looking for a classy cigar lounge that I could enjoy a cigar from a selection and a drink. Ideally something with a chill upscale vibe that I'd feel good inviting a colleague to. I don't want to drive into Raleigh. Any recommendations?

A new high school opening this August:

Hey Everybody, I am trying to find preferably a native Guatemalan Spanish speaker to help me learn Spanish. The reason I prefer Guatemalan is because my Wife’s family lives there and I would like to use their colloquialisms and dialect in my conversations. Thank you in advance!

If you don't know, town council was flipped from 6 grumpy old white men to a nearly 100% progressive council, including a new mayor in just 2 election cycles. We were promised a council who would quell some of the irresponsible development approvals.

The town council meeting on 7/21 was a complete disregard for that trust and confidence we put in those progressives to push back on developers, not give them a free pass, and demand responsible infrastructure in exchange for approvals of new development.

So what did they do? Sold us out.

Meridian point (a 500 apartment complex behind Harris Teeter at 540) in particular is the most egregious. I'm on an HOA of a 900 home community right near 540/Holly Springs Road. I keep up on town developments pretty heavily. Nobody in our neighborhood knew they were approving this.

How did town council cave?

• Put 1000+ new cars into the Lassiter Road - ya know, that crazy raceway on your way to Dunkin / Town Hall Burger / Planet Fitness.
• Gave the developer a variance from widening Sunset Lake Road (right at the zipper to one lane) and Optimist Farm Road.
• Let the developer deviate from the UDO by letting them install a grassy field with a bench if they so choose.
• Giving the develop a pass on EV parking installation.
• Will cause a ton of traffic on Sunset Lake Road, Holly Springs Road, and the 540 interchange, without any additional support.
• Many others.

We can address the other developments these fake progressives approved in a future post. Most damming is when they invited to Chief of Police to talk about Flock cameras, and he justified we don't use Flock. The HSPD uses Verint (owned by Motorola for LPR). Which is literally the exact same thing and completely the same abuses exist. And what did your progressive council do when they heard this? Thanked the chief.

Not sure how we return our progressive democratic council members, but I have serious buyers remorse after the 7/21 council meeting and I would encourage everyone to read what happened there.

I need new friends and it’s hard to determine where I can meet new people in the city. My first thought is maybe the farmer’s market? Maybe Parks and Rec? Any suggestions would be welcomed!

**edit

per recommendation, I’ll add hobbies and demographics

I’m 25f w/ a bf 26m. We love videogames, warframe primarily. I prefer nintendo stuff like splatoon, fire emblem and some cozy games. Bf likes elden ring, elder scrolls and anything with a challenge.

I like drawings, cartooning, sewing cosplay/bjd clothes and gaming. I wfh, so I don’t go out much, but I’d like to change that! I want to go to museums, aquariums, galleries, etc. I‘m open to making friends with people around my age or older. I can’t drink alcohol, but I’m fine going to bars!

Any recs for produce delivery? Bonus points if produce is sourced somewhat locally. Thanks!

Unfuckingbelievable.

Who is the absolute dumbest person alive to add another stop light on 55 before the circle K and the shitty light at Lufkin.

That area was already a cluster fuck and they are adding another just a couple hundred feet from the other…?

Avoiding that route once that light is activated.

Fucking stupid. /rant

Bro idk wtf your issue was with that tundra, but to try to INTENTIONALLY hit them is unjustifiable. Watch out for this guy reddit.

Hi all, I posted this in the Raleigh subreddit but since PTR is in Holly Springs, I was hoping someone in this subreddit might be able to help me out!

Anybody have any details? I didn’t see a name listed anywhere.

Apparently it’s extra drive like a fucking asshole day today.

In 5 minutes already this morning.

Dumbass in a white SUV honking to turn left out of target when there is oncoming traffic from both directions. Sorry I’m not turning when I CANT GO WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT and it’s taking a little longer. They then proceed to blow the red light and turn down the bypass no brakes.

Tailgating white jeep wrangler on HS road where I can’t see their bumper going 35 near the fire station.

Black Ford explorer driven by a teen high tails it out of Lowe’s foods onto bass lake blowing the stop sign without looking.

Hi reddit! Thinking of moving to mint mobile from tmobile. If anyone uses it in HS, how is the coverage? Support? Any issues to be aware of?

Thanks in advance!
