Client Profile
One Six Three Pizza | 163 Foster St., New Haven, CT
This project was inspired by a large tree stump in the curb strip adorned with “neighborhood herb garden” and “dog parking” signs.
We worked with the owners to carve the stump into a standing curb-side bar table and up-cycled the four existing 4x4 raised beds by enclosing them and expanding their capacity.
In 2024, the two raised beds closest to Willow Street contained a New England native wildflower mix fromAmerican Meadows, a variety of annual sunflowers, zinnias, snap dragons, and three kinds of morning glory along the posts.
The other two boxes included 3 varieties of basil and tomatoes, marigolds, nasturtium, and a canopy of moon flowers over the dining area.
The window boxes for the kitchen had cascading nasturtium, thyme, and marjoram.
Lawrence Street Plaza
This raised bed was a community-driven initiative inspired by traffic-reduction measures at the historic triangle park at the funky intersection of State Street, Lawrence Street, East Street, and Mechanic.
It’s made from a Red Oak that fell in the woods between property lines in Hamden during a storm in 2022.
Milled with an Alaskan chainsaw mill, the 2-inch thick slabs dried outdoors for 2+ years.
Lightly sanded and painted with BEHR “un-mellow yellow” to match the branding of Lawrence Street Plaza pilot in September 2024, the colorful facade of nearby buildings.
Filled with wet logs from Next Door pizza, sticks and leaves from Mechanic Street, compost, and a variety of organic and recycled material.
Planted with daffodils, tulips, and native New England asters (Fall 2024)
