Pat and Dave Schwab of 2 Mountain Man Trail in Daniel are recipients of the Sage and Snow Garden of Beauty Award. The Schwabs are "green" gardeners, utilizing four rain barrels to capture irrigation water and three composters to minimize vegetable waste. The finished compost is used to amend the soil in their greenhouse containers and beds. The greenhouse, designed and built by the Schwabs, utilizes a solar fan to cool it and has windows that are repurposed from someone elses remodeling project. Every bit of space in the greenhouse is used to grow cantaloupe, cucumbers, squash, peppers, beets, asparagus, onions, tomatoes, celery, green beans, peas, pumpkins, carrots, and strawberries. To ensure healthy transplants, they start all their seeds in February. The greenhouse is surrounded by a beautiful yard filled with trees, shrubs and flowers. All the work was done by the Schwabs a testament to their creative planning and persistent hard work.
