I decided to focus on a tiny area this fall to see how sustainably I could put in a brand-new polyculture and I’m so proud of how it turned out!  Nothing in this picture added more than five minutes of driving. I planted beach plums and anise hyssop from a local permaculture farm near my kid’s forest school; monarda I grew last year from seed from our local seed library; chives, daffodils, and strawberries divided from clumps elsewhere in the garden, and lupine and plantain from foraged seed. Even the bricks for outlining the path are from a neighbor. Fingers crossed it grows in well!
