One thought on “Plants”

  1. Hi, I am a huge permaculture fan. I have several books and have constructed a few hugel beds and been messing around with many types of seed. Really just trying to find my green thumb considering I never had the privilege of growing up with a garden. I was very excited to find out about this project and also considering the location. I would love to come check it out sometime if you guys were to give any tours
