Welcome to our home. You are invited to visit our evolving site and experience for yourself what a sustainable urban environment might look like.
Stay overnight or attend a workshop and spend a few days. Our hope is that you'll find our home comfortable, relaxing, and inspirational. If you're already familiar with common environmental practices like recycling, composting and eating organic food, you'll feel right at home here. If not, we'd be happy to explain their importance, as well as our use of organic bedding, biodegradable detergents and energy saving appliances.
Green Lodging refers to hosting practices which support environmental health. We are demonstrating ways to reduce consumption and waste. We love sharing what we know and learning more from our guests.
We have become a Washington State non-profit, Fertile Ground Community Center, demonstration site for sustainable living. Read our mission statement for more information.
Check out our two new satelite facilities:
The Bamboo Bungalow ~

The Bamboo Bungalow is just around the corner from the famous San Francisco Street bakery. It is tucked into an exotic collection of living bamboo and treasures gathered from beaches and forests around Western Washington.
Just a 15 minute walk (or 3 minute drive) takes you down San Francisco Street to East Bay Drive. Breathtaking views of the Olympic Mountains and Budd Inlet are visible all the way to the heart of downtown Olympia. |

Starting Jan. 1, 2012
we are no longer accepting credit cards
for payment due to our disapproval with how big banks use our money to make huge profits. We accept cash & checks and there are many ATM machines withing walking distance where you can access cash from your credit card if you desire to.

The Bamboo Bungalow, Too is a cozy little one bedroom cottage with lots of great custom woodwork, natural light and outdoor areas. Located just a few blocks east of downtown, it's perfect for up to two people. Both of these units come with the Fertile Ground seal of approval for sustainability, comfort and style. |
