The Natural State of Things

• Grow, produce, replace

• If left alone, plants would take over Earth.

• Instead of paying for your lawn, make your lawn work for you.

Unlimited Potential

Size Does NOT Matter

• Size is unimportant: it is all about the plan

• Light and soil: observe before you plant

• Change is GREAT

Useful and Unique

• Raised beds - great for poor soil

• The higher the bed, the easier to weed

• From useless to useful

• dirt is not needed under a tall raised bed
