The Raven and The Spade is a certified organic potager garden designed to be a pleasure garden where beauty and productivity are happily interwoven;  a garden which  spans utilitarian and ornamental ideals. The everyday vegetables and flowers are constantly evolving in a  mosaic anchored by wide grass paths that provide quiet rest.

We would like to give all our visitors a special opportunity to slow down wander and enjoy.  We encourage nibbling on beautiful certified organic vegetables to decide which is your favorite.  We have striven to create a marvelous atmosphere that inspires your imagination as well as your appetite. 

The elegant well-proportioned greenhouse of comfortable appeal sits at the north end of the garden.  Meyers lemons grown in pots provide fruit and cheerful summer décor among the vegetables.  Aromatics such as parsley, tarragon, lemon verbena, chives, thyme and rosemary, intermingle with the vegetables, fruit and flowers as part of the mosaic.
