About Island Gardens Co

San Juan Island sits in the rain shadow of the Olympics, which is a polite way of saying midsummer here is dry, and every lawn above Griffin Bay knows it by July. Island Gardens Co works with that fact rather than against it, mowing high when the ground is thirsty, trimming clean, edging beds so the shape holds even after the color fades. Cleanups through the year keep thatch and litter from piling where they would do harm. Then September's first real rain comes and the whole island exhales green again, and the lawns tended through the dry stretch return the fastest. That return is the point of the entire business.
