Interested in wood pallet projects for your garden?

🛏️ They make good raised beds (kept intact or dismantled )
⬆️ Vertical gardening. Can be hung on a wall or leaned against a wall or fence. There’s a bit of DIY to reconfigure this for this type of garden
⚠️ Please be sure to check to see if they are marked with HT (heat treated) for insects and rot. Way cleaner than the traditional way with chemicals. They will most likely need to be washed off. Keep in mind some pallets may be from other countries where either they don’t use chemicals or where the labels might be different from ours . A quick search should clarify that.

My business story

I love getting dirty. Dirt, compost, flour, jam residue, smashed fruit…. Making things, growing things makes me happy. It relaxes me and I enjoy the fruits of my labor for months after. My mission: is to reconnect people with the soil and all that it provides. I want to get people out of their houses and into their yards. We need to slow down, unplug and remember what it was like when we still made things with our hands and for ourselves. Both of my grandparents always had a summer garden, my grandpa lived for tomatoes (I guess that’s where I got it from) and my grandma…well let’s just say there was a year when she planted five zucchini plants and people ran when they saw her coming!! Roughly 30-50% of the vegetables we eat at home come from our tiny backyard garden. I am an Alameda County Master Composter, avid edible gardener, Bay-Friendly Qualified Landscape Professional and have been happily teaching sustainable gardening classes since 2007. It gives me great joy to pass along the love of gardening to my friends, family and friends-I-have-not-met-yet. Join me!! I’ll be waiting in the garden…. Peace, love and compost Lori
