From backyard beekeeping to apartment gardening, Northwesterners can see all the latest in urban farming and homesteading at “Yard to Table,” a 6,000 square foot educational community garden, at the Seattle Home & Garden Show.  A collaborative effort of more than two dozen of the region’s independent leaders in the Yard to Table movement (who are building this small farm on site to address the region’s burgeoning pandemic-related interest in gardening), “Yard to Table” features raised vegetable and flower beds, live small farm animals (including sheep, goats and baby chicks), a chicken coop and a greenhouse, as well as rotating presentations ranging from goat yoga to growing your own produce at home.

New Mini Backyard Office Makes its Northwest Debut at Seattle Home & Garden Show

Working from home is one of the top design trends Northwesterners will see at the Seattle Home & Garden Show, the oldest and largest home show in the nation.  Whether they are remodeling existing spaces, building an addition to the home or putting something in the backyard, Northwesterners are spending more time than ever on creating remote work spaces, and it is a trend that is expected to stay.  Making their Northwest debut is the Mini-O, a turnkey mini backyard office that comes complete with electrical outlets, USB ports, heating, air conditioning and that can be delivered in as little as four weeks.

Designed by Mini-O and manufactured for the West Coast market by Seattle Home & Garden Show exhibitor Carriage Houses Northwest.
