BACKYARD FARMS

MAINTENANCE
Though we design our gardens to be low-fuss, there is no such thing as a no-fuss garden. We work in all seasons, rain or shine, and emphasize the intersection of plant health, aesthetics, and habitat. We prune, trim, weed, remove invasive species (like blackberry and ivy), and mulch

MICRO-ORCHARDS
interested in helping create local food systems in Seattle? We grow food and medicine in people’s backyards to sell at market. These “micro-orchards” exist to contribute quality fruits and medicinal herbs to our local community and put urban land to good use
More Than a Landscaping Company
We are dedicated to building healthy, robust ecosystems in urban spaces, maximizing land use by growing food and medicine in under-utilized yards, and creating community wealth through worker-ownership.

“I firmly believe Doug Tallamy’s message of conservation starts with your yard. You can make a difference in the world with your own yard! It’s very hard to find gardeners who understand these ideas & practices, but I found that in Plot.twist. They truly live the mantra that we can all make changes that help the land, the animals, our planet, and ourselves. It was an absolute pleasure working with them to transform my traditional grass yard to a natural habitat & oasis. They have a vast knowledge of native plants, they are hardworking, smart, and nice guys. They are using radical protest in a way that is truly making a difference 1 yard at a time. I highly recommend them!”

“Plot.twist showed up to my overgrown yard covered in blackberry bushes as far as the eye could see. These MIRACULOUS humans made quick work of the bushes, all the while smiling and friendly. I am excited to move forward with them at my side and have the garden I’ve always dreamed of.”
