The community garden was specifically designed to cultivate a healthy soil ecosystem as well as sequester any water and nutrients on-site. This garden has been operational for 3 years, and has never been watered! As a zero-runoff garden, to keep the rain onsite, it also serves as a GI installation that sequesters stormwater, carbon, and important nutrients that allow things, like onion flowers, to grow!
We have 16 lots, totaling 5 acres, that feature permaculture guild planting designed to maximize ecosystem services. ![]()

These ecosystem services include biodiversity protection, pest reduction, increased nutrient uptake and availability, greater water infiltration, increased pollination, and decreased disease pressure.
