This backyard is given style and function with the M Brace. Notice the different woods used to create a darker stripe effect . . . really cool!!

Nationally known fabric artist Marjorie McWilliams (www.fabricdesigns.com) is using recycled wood and the M Brace to create raised beds that will become her dyeing garden. She’ll use the extracts from flowers to make natural dyes for cotton and silk. We LOVE that the M Brace is part of this project!

This M Brace has been in our garden for three years, and this is our new spinach crop for the winter. They’ll be ready to eat in 60 days . . . hard to believe! In the background is our “Chicken Condo”. Our four chickens, Daphny, Cheese, Julia and Red, have lots of room to roam, and they each lay an egg daily!

This is the Leaf Guard version of the M Brace! This one-sided M Brace is used to direct blowing leaves where the homeowner wants them to go. Notice the handle at the top so he can move it where needed. Ingenious, Jim!

Here are a few new photos from our garden showing the beauty each of our products gets with age.
We’ve labeled our giant artichoke plant with a Frog Squiggle Stake and lined our chicken coop with some Lollipop Edgers. Both have rusted beautifully!!


Finally, we love this corner of our raised bed made using a variety of old wood! Can’t wait until this one rusts too!

We are so excited to share these photos from the Canyon Crest Academy’s Ecology Club!! We were proud to provide some M Braces, M Brace Minis, and Squiggle Stakes to help them with their entry in the county fair. And guess what!? Their exhibit won first place! Congrats guys!






Our customer, Srini, was kind enough to share this photo of his garden beds with us! We love the use of space and can’t wait to see the beds filled with plants!!

The designer of this garden, Michelle, from Palo Alto, CA, used the architectural feel of the M Brace to create structure and repetition in the garden. It’s very pleasing to the eye, and the veggies look great! I spy a cat too! Do you?





Did you know you can create more than a simple rectangle using the M Brace? Check out these spectacular photos of a customer’s L-shaped garden using the M Brace and M Brace Insider. Beautiful!!



Sean Evans, a young man completing his Eagle Scout requirements, contacted us recently asking for help with his Eagle Scout project. We were happy to help Sean out with some M Braces and he sent us back a few pictures of his completed project! Here’s what Sean had to say:
“Hello its Sean Evans! I have completed my Eagle Scout Project, thanks to you guys, and have taken many pictures of it! Thank you again for your contribution!”
