Tilth is excited to offer a new service! Staff garden experts are now
available for landscape consultations and garden mentoring.
We offer personalized home visits that can help
you convert your yard into a sustainable organic landscape. Upon appointment, a
Seattle Tilth staff consultant will walk with you through your garden, answer questions, make
recommendations and help diagnose specific problems.
Clients will receive a

for future reference. Whether you
