We invite you to become a Garden Partner or Compost Host. We want gardeners and landscapers to break the habit of purchasing compost each season. We gardeners to be a part of our local food cycle, to use local resources, and to help us divert materials from the landfill and eliminate methane.

Don't rip out your lawn (you lose a lot of carbon right there) but build up soil over it using methods such as sheet composting, or mulch. Reduce tilling and cherish the life in your soil.

Garden Practices
We cultivate green spaces that aim to work with nature and regenerate ecosystems. Our practices are derived from permaculture, master gardeners, regenerative practices, and local grandma gardeners alike.
We largely apply techniques such as: no-till, organic with no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides, companion planting, cover crops, composting, perennial herbs, and bee and bug friendly greenscaping.
