Urban Gardening and Homesteading

The "Lot" in the Whitaker area of Eugene is run by a friend and local artist/plumber who has been in the Eugene area for many years. He purchased this small and wonderfully central parcel of land in the heart of town. As you will see already in the short amount of time he has put a "lot" of love into this once gravel parcel of land and totally transformed it.

 Behind is the water tower with a loft bed, lookout, outdoor shower. In front is a garden made from straw bales soil and some very nice and mature plants.

 This is outdoor solar shower and water tower. Want a custom showerhead or work done in the local Eugene area ? The number is above (area code 541).


 Pyramid Plumbing, also famous for signature shower heads, this one is for a goddess! Love!

 Garden set up with straw bales, small greenhouse and bus storage area. 


 Whats a "lot" without a "lot dog"? Kitchen, water tower, greenhouse, and garden areas.

 That is how you create your own garden when you have a garden lot, and highly attractive and abundant as well!!!

 Another view of the outdoor/indoor kitchen structure and lovely tree!
