Landscaping in small areas can create initimate gardens.

By using plant material and hardscapes you can create focal points even in small areas.

Screens are important to provide a backdrop as well as add privacy in close areas.

Multiple levels, such as a deck above a patio, can create the feel of two seperate areas in small gardens.

Community Supported Agriculture is a group of individuals who pledge support of a farm through purchased “shares.”

These “share-holders” pre-pay a set amount to cover some of the operational costs of a farm. In return, they receive shares of that farm’s harvests throughout the growing season.

Roundabout Farm is a 76 acre farm in Keswick.

Roundabout Farm uses non-certified organic practices and hopes to become organic certified in the near future.

Both vegetable and flower “shares” are available from Roundabout.
