Beautiful, sustainable, and delicious landscapes for communities and families using whole systems design and permaculture principles.

We design, install, and build for small- and large-scale projects including rain gardens, cisterns, public garden spaces, urban chicken coops, fencing, creative carpentry, children's play features, and rockeries in Seattle.  

We teach ongoing classes for chicken rearing, seasonal vegetable growth, rain gardens, greywater, at-home mushroom cultivation, and more. 
​
We install rain gardens and cisterns through Seattle Public Utilities' & King County's RainWise program.
