Project Highlights
Front Yard Transformation, September 2024, Shawnigan Lake BC:
A new deer resistant, shade-tolerant, flower and medicine garden that was previously a scrubby bit of lawn.

10 fruit trees, 3 nut trees, 6 types of berries, nitrogen fixing shrubs, perennial foods and medicinal plant ground covers.
Iris Rd backyard berry slope and tea garden summer 2020:
Every plant has either edible flowers for tea or berries to eat, with a few artichokes too! Cedar trellises were installed to make use of the vertical space on the house and retaining wall for edible vines. We built custom self-watering herb boxes situated right outside the kitchen door
