Blanche's in Cochrane

When my husband and I were planning our house five years ago, I already knew I did not want grass and instead would be growing as much food as possible. Initially, Karla Cox of Provisions Permaculture designed and helped me implement everything through three permablitzes.
​
My back yard is ringed with Columnar Colorado Spruce, I have fruit trees, raspberry bushes, blueberry shrubs, and other fruit bushes as well as a raised flower bed, and many flowering shrubs. The birdhouses are occupied every year with Swallows and I love working in the yard while watching their antics. I am still waiting for the bat house to be claimed. I saw my first bat last summer, accidently flying into our garage, but now I know they are around.

The front yard holds raised cedar boxes where I plant vegetables. I wanted our yard to be a place of refuge, somewhere to rejuvenate, an oasis in the middle of an increasingly technology-driven society where people are driven to succeed and stress is an accepted way of life. It remains a work in progress and I still have projects to complete. However, my yard is my life and gives me a place to just be, where I can leave the cares of the world behind.
