Bayview has some defined pathways that link it with neighboring businesses.
The crown jewel of the environmental efforts of Bayview Farm & Garden and its neighboring businesses is its composting toilet. Designed by a local architect and bristling with the latest engineering and technology, the toilet is fully self-sustaining and creates zero waste discharge.
Small display gardens dot the outdoor sales yard.
In keeping with its rural yet upscale setting, Bayview Farm & Garden sells rustic products mixed in with the trendy and sophisticated.
The Smilin' Dog Café is only a few feet away from Bayview Farm & Garden. It's a complementary arrangement. The restaurant gives garden customers a reason to linger and extend their shopping trip and the garden center feeds the restaurant a steady stream of customers.
Rain barrels are placed around various businesses in Bayview Corner. Bayview Farm & Garden supplements its irrigation system with rain water.
This cratelike panel is the foundation of a green parking lot. It's placed just below ground level in the parking area and is strong enough to support cars and trucks. It allows grass to grow in a solid sheet above it and allows rainwater to seep into the ground.
