Backyard vegetable garden

If you are interested in gardening, permaculture or in living a more self-sufficient lifestyle, and would like take a tour of our fixer-upper, work-in-progress urban homestead, please make a reservation at least two weeks in advance.  We’d appreciate your letting us know if you decide to cancel.

Please be advised that our place is undergoing drastic renovation in both the yard and buildings - things are a bit helter skelter and our house is in much need of repair (i.e. house has a blue tarp on roof)! 

Thank you for your understanding.
