It's high time for a chicken-coop makeover. Just look at your coop with its rusty nails and splintery plywood frame, the dirty wire mesh walls and soiled dirt floor - none of it goes well with your teak loungers from Pottery Barn and copper birdbath from Smith & Hawken. You need ideas. For the third time, GardenSphere is hosting the Tacoma Urban Coop Tour. This fun, family friendly event has become an annual tradition in the Tacoma area. Join the self-guided tour and scope out eight of your neighbors' coops.
