design matters

We created and maintain the Garden with many sustainable materials and practices, including:

  • Raised beds constructed from reclaimed wood
  • Plant containers made from reclaimed chimney liners
  • Seating made from repurposed stone and wood pieces
  • Mushroom manure to start the Garden’s raised beds
  • Rainwater collection barrels
  • Composting system
