Tour of Thiel Gardens - urban year-round gardeners in Minnesota

5/2/2017

Date Occurred: 16 0429   David and Jill Thiel, designers, builders and year-round gardeners with Thiel Gardens, invited several clients and I to tour their urban garden facility in South Minneapolis. We were doing research for a new home that would have an attached greenhouse, a large attached root cellar and a large outdoor garden that would allow my clients to produce and store most of their food supply. With a winter greenhouse and outdoor raised beds, the Thiel's raise a variety of micro greens and herbs year-round. David designed and built their winter greenhouse with a great blend of intuitive design skills and hands-on construction ability. David and Jill were very helpful and gracious in describing how their winter greenhouse gardens systems worked; from plant selections, passive heating, heat storage, and summer shading, to how gardening worked into their daily living schedule. The micro-greens were lush, beautiful and very tasty in our April tour. Thank you! Their greens are sold  at several local stores. Please check them out at http://thielgardens.com.
Education, advocacy, learning and milestones.

    For my day job, I'm an architect focused on green design. Not a bad gig! Caring for the planet is a theme throughout my life. This page is where I like to talk about how that love for the earth plays out – in architecture and in my life.
