My Permaculture Design Certificate, received this year from Geoff Lawton, pushed me in a direction of wanting to contribute to the workings of the world, and try to leave it a better place than I found it. Hence, an urban garden on the wild side, described in part by this little website.

My interest in this garden is more in perennials than annuals, with emphasis on exploring edible perennials and unusual plants. Spinach, carrots, beets, peppers and tomatoes are well-covered elsewhere, and here we explore things like nettles, dock, herbs, fruit trees and berries. Whatever grows well here in dry, dry Colorado.
