The nature of our stone has a number of advantages. It has the appearance of carved stone at a fraction of the cost, and it ages much like natural stone-developing a rich patina quite rapidly.

Western Red Cedar is renowned world-wide for its unique weather-resistant properties:

• IT DOSENT WARP
  Cedar is a lightweight and dimensionally stable wood that lies flat and stays straight. Which means it resists the natural tendency to crack and check, as you might find in many other wood species.
• IT STAYS COOL
  Western Red Cedar has an incredible thermal co-efficient, meaning even on hot days, it is cool to sit in.
• Its bacterial and fungal resistance coupled with the fact that Cedar is 80% the strength of Oak, makes it the most desirable wood to use for building Outdoor furniture.
• IT WON’T ROT
  Western Red Cedar fibers contain oils that act as natural preservatives to help the wood resist rot and decay making it excellent furniture material for moist or humid climates. These properties also make Cedar a very popular material for hot tub and sauna areas.
• Western Red Cedar has been used for generations for roofing and shingles, fences, fence posts, planking for small boat hulls and, of course, for outdoor furniture. A Western Red Cedar fence post will last up to 16 years in the ground. We have found that left out year round, untreated and uncovered in Canada’s rugged winters, the furniture will last a minimum of 8 to 10 years. Furniture that is brought inside or covered for the winter will last twice that long.
• IT SMELLS GREAT
  Naturally occurring organic compounds called (thujaplicins) give off that richly distinct cedar aroma that smells so good to humans but makes the wood highly unattractive to insects, moths and other pests. This is why Cedar is a choice material for closet liners and blanket storage chests.

Bring in the Sun
 I use potted planters in my house to create a sense of equilibrium with my busy life and my spiritual life.  It is very hard to have a place where you feel is sacred.  This entails being aware of the natural world that surrounds us.  Having plants in my house makes me feel like I am somewhere else.  Everyday I have a routine.  I get home and after I take care of myself, I take care of my plants and their needs.  This connects me to a system of existence that is not very present in my office work life, or at the bar with my friends. 

On the outside of my house, a garden trellis does a great job of absorbing the natural sunlight and keeping it for me to enjoy.

Gardens are exceptionally hard to maintain.  Especially when just starting out in a new terrain, an outdoor garden can prove much more labor intensive than we previously intended.  The soil in an outdoor garden has usually been abused by years of mono-cropped grass.  This grass has leached the nutrients from the soil and created an unfriendly atmosphere for any new plants to come into this harsh environment. 

 The solution to this problem is simple enough.  Use indoor and outdoor potted planters to grow a variety of vegetables and flowers that you would like in your garden, then as you are waiting for these plants to grow; you can work on creating an ideal environment for them.  You can do this by removing rocks, pebbles, weeds, and bring in better soil for your new plants to flourish in.  An outdoor bird feeder can be useful in creating a variegated environment.
