We develop garden designs for your
home. Beginning with a clear space
using logs as a natural border. The
design develops with mulched
pathways and healthy topsoil.
Finally the seeds sprout and
seedlings grow to accent the design
and feed the family.

The art of Urban Gardening is in the use of tires,
cardboard, old fencing and many other discarded
items that fill the urban landscape. Old tires are good
for raised flower beds and excellent for root crops
like potatoes.
