I am currently designing and laying out my permaculture garden and yard area. My entire goal is to make the entire place attractive, accessible, and educational all while being super functional.
A few of the ideas I have are,
I am planning a walkway with a arched trellis that will have grapes, string beans, and flowering plants. It will also have a few other mixed varieties of plants but it’s how I plant to incorporate them all which will be the best part of it all.
I am also planting a small orchard that will have raised beds between each tree and these raised beds will all have trellises and serve several different types of plants. My idea here is that as you walk down the rows of the fruit trees in between the trees will be small raised beds of like Tomatoes or other types of plants. The uniformity and layout will make it all work together and provide me space to grow both the trees and the various other items I want to grow. This will also free up the isles for walking and or accessing everything while keeping it all neat and clean looking.
I think laying out everything so there is consistency and uniformity will be beneficial in achieving a nice looking garden.
For me the most important aspects of my project are accessibility and appearance, while all serving the function of making everything easier to attend.
