Front Garden:
Before I became a farmer, I poured my creativity into this garden to keep my sanity in law school. It's entirely edible. Dwarf apple trees screen out the street, blueberries line the sidewalk (for sharing with passersby), perennial fruits edge the garden, annual vegetables and strawberries fill the raised beds, and a fountain with spitting frogs attract birds and distracts from city noises. Sit on the south-facing front porch and enjoy the sun!
Back Garden
Our back garden is secluded, you won't see the neighbors and they won't see you. We've worked back here for 20 years to turn it into an oasis. I learned masonry skills while building the pond and 40 foot long stream. The annual veggie garden is yours for the picking. There's multiple spots to sit and rest, eat a meal, read, chat, and or just enjoy the view. The chicken coop and run in the back are currently unoccupied.
