It's been a pipedream & alot of daydreaming til Howard & I came up with the idea of a "Community Tire Garden"....  Let's create a worthwhile project that will make a difference in the neighborhood, bring togetherness & comradery among friends/families/children, a place to commune with nature~ all the while growing vegetables for healthy eating!  I hope you enjoy the journey with us in this creation developing & having the time of our lives making this "Garden Come to LIfe!"

 

    Let me bring into play the creators of this passion of gardening, Vanessa & Eric Mytko, owners: "Life's A Garden".  They have been creating personal, commercial, water retention garden's, etc for what seems a Lifetime!

    They are a locally-owned and are operated- licensed landscape contractor [ROC#176487] specializing in the design, installation and management of edible and sustainable landscapes. With an emphasis on quality workmanship and organic practices,they incorporate into their designs vegetables, herbs and fruit for year-round harvest while maintaining a pleasing and inviting space. Purveyors of rainwater harvesting and greywater systems, they can significantly help  clients reduce their water consumption. Also, by using local resources and reclaimed materials, they are able to further reduce waste and conserve valuable resources.
