The Seattle Times: Pacific Northwest Magazine July 10, 2005

A steep desert slope turns into a green mountain meadow

In planting edibles, Nancy Heckler makes a garden as pure as it is gorgeous

Creatures abound in a pond that rose from an island bog

On an urban corner, a country cottage emerges in floppy abundance

In eco-sensitive gardens, we sustain our world and ourselves.

Minimize the risk, then beat the traffic by working out on a bike.

Prefabs for birds, outdoor furniture, fabrics and more.

Pillar of the community.

Resisting the outsourcing tide, a traditional outfitter tries to keep it local

The fever to find home, and why it keeps spiking

Through generations, cars and a community are held together

We have made the Pacific Northwest wetlands a heaven for formerly migrating geese, but it’s a slippery slope. Taste will return next week.
