In 2022 we completely changed this front and backyard into a mix of 34 habitat and food forest plantings. As of September 4, 2024 this landscape is a Silver certified Backyard Habitat, while also providing numerous fruits, berries, and edible flowers!
We replaced the front yard with a surrounding hedgerow of Snowberry, Salmonberry, Tall Oregon Grape, Mock Orange, Goat's Beard, Douglas Aster, Baldhip Rose, and Red Columbine with a border of strawberries and nurse logs.
Swaths of 16 perennial flowers next to a bird bath in the center make for a busy and attractive focal point.
In the backyard we added more food forest plantings such as an apple, espaliered pear, blackcap raspberries, golden raspberries, blueberries, star jasmine, and passion flower.
