Replacing your lawn is just the beginning. Landscape designer Nancy Heuler walks us through the essentials of native garden design—from reading your soil and mapping sun patterns to grouping plant communities that naturally belong together.

The result? A garden that's easier to maintain, kinder to wildlife, and deeply rooted in the California landscape.

➡️Big Pine Transfer Station will be open Saturday March 21st, while the ➡️Independence Landfill will be open March 22nd
Please note!

If you had significant tree damage from the snow fall a few weeks ago I’ve asked our team for a free green waste dump day.
Pending Board approval on 3/17, Inyo county will offer free green waste dump days on March 21st & 22nd at Bishop, Independence and Lone Pine landfills and the Big Pine transfer station.

Thank you for those who reached out asking for assistance. Now let’s clean up our yards!

🕯 Hygge at the Market 🕯

This month at the Farm to Table Market, we’re leaning into hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) — the Danish idea of coziness, comfort, and connection. Hygge is about slowing down, savoring warm food, and gathering with people who make you feel at home. It’s candlelight over cold nights, shared tables, and the kind of atmosphere that settles you into the moment.

In Denmark, hygge carries people through the darker months with warmth and togetherness — and that’s exactly the spirit we’re bringing into our market all season long. December at the market is about soft lights, familiar faces, and small joys that feel big when you share them.

If it makes you exhale… it’s probably hygge.
Join us this week for a cozy night with:

�👩‍🍳 A cooking demo with Kristine Kidd @ 5:30PM�
🎶 Live music by Pete Watercott�
🕯 Warm food, soft lights & community vibes
🗓 December 4 | 3–7 PM�
📍 Bishop United Methodist Church

Wrap up, wander in, and make yourself at home.

Through our hands-on programs, local students dig into the soil and explore the wonders of nature. Each spring, Bishop Elementary 3rd graders visit our Demonstration Pollinator Garden to learn about plants, pollinators, and the magic of germination, and to plant their very own sunflowers.
Together, we’re helping kids grow curiosity, compassion, and a lifelong love for the land.
