The Cob wall was the result of a free sustainable building materials workshop. Cob (literally “lump of clay” in Olde English) is a traditional construction technique from Britain that has been used for over 500 years but has also been the building material of choice since the rise of civilization. Actually Cob is made out of sand, clay, straw, and water that has been thoroughly mixed together. Building with Cob is similar to sculpting. The structures are hand made and have organic, free-flowing, curved walls. Once dried the curved walls are incredibly strong and create warm, comfortable living space.

The courtyard in the front of the store has many uses throughout the year. It's a space for Avant Gardening's summer plant sales and Christmas tree sales, home of the Great Pumpkin Patch during Owner Appreciation Days, and a comfortable place to bring your smoothie or Kung Pao tofu (when the weather's nice).

An area where children can play with toys, read a book or draw on a chalkboard. This area is not supervised, so please don't leave your children there unattended!

We created a rain garden in the area behind the Co-op. Rain gardens help keep the water in the ground rather than allowing it to run off roofs and pavement into the sewer. As the water soaks through the ground, it is also naturally filtered. Click here for more information.
