I came looking for garden tools last fall and found hundreds of useful things for home repair, construction, and even leatherworking! Such an awesome resource.

Looking to start your Pollinator Habitat? Come grab some Douglas Aster at our plant swap on Saturday, starting at 10am. These ambitious spreaders will fill your beds with green leaves early in the spring, climb to 15", and burst into beautiful cornflower blue blossoms late summer. These late blooms support over 70 species of native bees. Backyard Habitat will also be joining to share pollinator tips and info!
