After a 15 year career in the construction industry he went back to school and in 2012 graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Environmental Science and Resource Management. Most of the following year was spent traveling across the country installing phytoremediation caps of retired land fills and toxic chemical sites. In 2014 the research he participated in while at the UW was published by the American Chemistry Society, "Degradation, Phytoprotection and Phytoremediation of Phenanthrene by Endophyte Psuedomonas putida, PD1".  He is the owner of Clear Water Gardens LLC, a landscaping firm specializing in water management, cistern and rain garden installation.

Stone Soup Gardens is happy to announce our recent relocation!  It is an exciting transition for us, and one that will bring a host of new opportunities.  Living in the Central District was a great start for our business, but we have moved south to Columbia City in order to expand as our business grows.  We now have a proper office, an organized tool shed, a much bigger chicken coop for our ladies, and a big yard to develop!

First, before we even moved in, we laid the foundation for our new tool shed, outdoor storage, and plant staging area. 

Gradually we moved into the basement and prepped our new office and indoor tool storage area.  I can't tell you how exciting it is to have a space and a place for everything.  

We built a lovely new coop and run for our little ladies in the front yard.  It has great access, shelter from the trees, views of the sidewalk, and a lot more room.  

We look forward to many happy years at our new location.  Stay tuned for more information about upcoming workshops, classes, and photos as we continue to develop and change our new yard into an urban retreat.
