On some property in the county area surrounding a growing city, two friends and I will raise saplings native to the area grown sustainably in the shade of larger trees and sell them to the city dwellers who are suffering from the distruction of sudden urban deforestation such as landslides, wind throw, and depleted landscapes. We will also offer the sale of plants and other native wildlife and plant them to get the best use out of an area and use methods that require less reliance on city water, fertilizers and extra maintenance.

We have been thinking that we want to start a farmer's market so the high school kids won't have to go away to get a job. We've been hoping that we could do this for many years. We would like to have tents, tables, seeds and planters where we can grow flowers to make the property look attractive. We want to plant a community garden in the back on the property. The property is behind a gallery that we started. The gallery has all local artists including children's artwork and is run by the Pecos Valley Community Foundation.
