Loving this unique four directions garden we insta

Loving this unique four directions garden we installed a week ago for @kimberlyclo_oracle! The bed is oriented to the cardinal directions with four smaller circular beds to be filled with veggies & herbs. The paths are planted with two different ground covers - mazus & ajuga. Both ground cover plants will provide beauty & diversity, improve soil health, & produce beautiful blooms for pollinators!

This is one of many phases to come for this wonderful yard. Looking forward to helping steward it’s potential!

We recently partnered up with MacHenry’s, a new restaurant in town, to turn their landscape into a foodscape! We’re excited about this on-going partnership that highlights our mutual love for locally-grown food & edible landscape design!

We added several hexagonal raised beds filled with veggies, planted a three sisters patch (corn, beans, & squash), turned a rock areas into an herb gardens, & planted melons, fig trees, blueberries, & pollinator-friendly cut flowers throughout the area. We’re excited to see it all bloom! Big thank you to @machenrysmeat3 for feeding us on installation day!

Here’s a word from MacHenry’s: Our mission is to bring scratch-made southern fare to all our neighbors in Nashville, TN & beyond. We’re bringing farm-fresh to fast-food! We believe in real food for real people & we want you to know that every bite you eat was made with love. From our garden-lined drive thru to our eco-friendly packaging, we strive to take care of our customers & the planet they live on. Our establishment is proudly named after our owner’s grandfather, Charles “MacHenry” Banks, who was an avid farmer, family man, veteran, & friend to anyone who would return his friendly wave. We carry on this tradition of loving our neighbors with delicious Southern classics prepared in a way that would make him & his wife, Agnes, proud.

Now available for pick up & delivery through Uber Eats!

Let’s talk about tree guilds! A tree guild is a permaculture method of planting a tree in combination with other plants that will grow together to create a mini ecosystem around the tree.

Now, let’s talk about comfrey. Comfrey is one of our favorite guild plants to use when we plant trees. Comfrey is good at weed suppression - you can use the leaves as mulch (chopping several times a year… it’ll always grow back!) & it will choke out nearly all weed competition.

Comfrey is also known as an accumulator because it “mines” nutrients from deep in the soil & brings them to the surface where other plants (such as trees!) can access them.

Utilizing this permaculture method helps us make the most out of our growing spaces by incorporating other edible, medicinal, or flowering crops into our designs & keeping our trees healthy & productive. It can also make our foodscapes more habitable for beneficial wildlife like birds, pollinators, & beneficial insects which lose habitat when space between trees is mowed.

Welcome, comfrey. Thank you, comfrey.

Photos include comfrey surrounding a tree in one of our maintenance client gardens & looking luscious! The last photo is a thank you to @treveccaurbanfarm for growing extra comfrey for us!
