The house and garden before we embarked on our adventure in urban sustainability in July 2007

See how our garden has changed from a bare yard with a swimming pool, concrete and lawn into an abundant veggie garden and food forest. Taken from our back balcony, these photos show the changes every month over the first year of creating our garden (July 2007 - June 2008), and every 3 months since then.

See how our veggie garden had come to life, from where the swimming pool used to be!

Watch our organic food forest grow to include over 50 different species of fruit trees (everything from acerola cherry raspberry to white sapote), and an abundance of shrubs, herbs and edible groundcovers.

What it's all about - wonderful, fresh organic homegrown FOOD!

Solar hot water, insulation, natural paints, green cleaning - glimpse into how we've created a more comfortable, healthier, sustainable home.

Our suburban garden has become a haven for animals of all kinds...
