Tilth May Edible Plant Sale with Chicken Cuddling - next weekend

4/27/2017

 
Our favorite event of the year is next weekend!  Come buy some beautiful starts from Tilth, say hello to your Seattle community, and cuddle some chickens with Stone Soup Gardens.  We'll be on site with our lovely flock o'birds who are just a flutter with the cuddling possibilities.  Come and get your garden on.  We can't wait to see you.

Mid-Century to this century

4/27/2017

 
Sometimes all it takes is a few well placed features to make the garden feel a more like home. With this lovely mid-century, drainage was a bit of an issue.  The house sits at the bottom of a slope, and ends in a cul-de-sac.  In order to alleviate this, we created raingardens on each side of the house in a couple of small pocket garden spaces.  This will help funnel water and keep it from pooling in the yard.  The raingardens will also filter the water from the driveway runoff which is essential since Lake Washington is just a short stroll away.  

We also installed a plank board fence and arbor along the west side of the property which will provide privacy and a safe play space for the kids, while creating an area for trailing plants in the shadier areas of the backyard.  

A lovely project, lovely clients, and a lovely home, what more could we ask for? 

Outdoor Living

4/10/2017

 
Outdoor living is something we all strive for more of here at Stone Soup Gardens.  One of our clients has realized this in a truly spectacular way.  Having installed two cisterns a couple of years ago, our client came back with dream plans of building an oasis with a hot tub and outdoor shower to replace her existing uneven grass backyard.  This spring we returned to put in a brick paver patio to connect the shower and hot tub, a sloping pathway, and a cute little corner raingarden.  

While it was a mucky and unpredictable time to create a level patio during the wettest spring season we've ever had, we think it turned out beautifully. It is one heck of a relaxing outdoor hideaway.  
    This is how Stone Soup Gardens rolls - check out our blog for current, upcoming, and past projects, events, and other super cool stuff worth mentioning.
