local organic garden service// education + consulting
We help folks build simple paths toward biodiversity and abundance while promoting resourceful land stewardship and sustainable growing methods.Our mission is to work with nature, for beautiful, more resilient landscapes and local food systems.
Life's a garden, we dig it!
01
plan
Observations are the fruits of paused intentions. Slow down!From whole garden layouts to individual bed rotations and crop plans, we help you make sense of it all.
02
preparations
Our primary function in the garden is to build healthy, productive soil. We like roots in the ground and deep mulches while carefully avoiding compaction, excessive tillage and synthetic inputs in our permanent 'raised' bed systems.
03
plant
Every plant, every thing, in its right place.(friends help friends plant cool plants)From pollinator support and beneficial organism habitat, to crop rotations and fertility cycling methods for sustainable outputs, we strive to do right by our clients and the environment.
04
maintain
Let us care for your garden, or help show you how!Composting is the bedrock of our regenerative method. Waste materials like food scraps, weeds and leaves are invaluable to building fertility and ecology.
A different way...
At earth + sky, we landscape like gardeners and garden like french biointensive farmers.The way we interact with the landscape is heavily influenced by the works of Wendell Berry, Aldo Leopold, Eliot Coleman, Ed Abbey and Thoreau.
"Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads."
— Henry David Thoreau
