More of what?
Trees
A healthy over-story with fruit and nut trees can create rich habitat, improve soil health, diversify your yard, and provide year-round interest.
Perennials
These herbaceous vegetables and flowers build solid content with organic material. Though we emphasize perennials, we won’t rule annuals and self-seeding varieties.
Vines
Many varieties of edible grapes and other vines can add depth and color to your landscape. When properly placed and maintained, vines are a great finishing touch to your outdoor space.
Shrubs
Layers of currant, gooseberry, blackberry, chokeberries, and raspberry play an important role in attracting wildlife via flowers and fruits.
Ground covers
From strawberries to leeks, and many other natives, plant ground covers to help with erosion control, moisture loss and to keep “weeds” at bay.

How? We’re so glad you asked
Leverage natural systems
Nature has spent thousands of years evolving to handle unique land and water challenges. Biomimicry is efficient because the solutions are tried and true.
Multifunctional designs
We prioritize fruit trees, native plants, and wildflowers because they restore soil health and attract local pollinators and they’re beautiful.
Promote diversity
Diversifying your yard means building resistance against viruses and diseases for you and the entire food chain. Healthy humans depend on healthy soils.
Go beyond vegetable gardens
Do a lot more with a lot less. When you grow your own food, you don’t just eat fresher and healthier foods, you are also saving money and building self-sufficiency.
