BILL SHORES

Bill specializes in space-efficient gardening systems suited to the urban/suburban environment including container gardens, indoor gardens, raised beds, rooftop gardens, and intensively planted small-space, in-ground gardens. All use season extension, composting and plant propagation techniques.

He manages several urban residential spaces that function both as high-yield food gardens and as lushly planted outdoor living and entertaining spaces. Several produce specialty crops for high-end Chicago restaurants including the Rick Bayless restaurants, Topolobampo, Xoco and Frontera Grill.
