After years of being on the waiting list, on 4 June 2011 I finally got a garden allotment (known as volkstuin in Dutch). It's just a 15-minute bike ride from home, at the back of an old Dutch dike - and has a little...

In the early spring the daffodils and tulips start to poke out of the ground...the 2 lilac bushes begin their blooms soon after. During mid-May, I begin to add veggie, herb, and annual plantings. Also, my parents bring...

I love to travel and even more, I love planning trips. As I close my eyes and envision each exotic destination - swaying palms, soft flowers, breezy caresses, soothing water, and the warmth of fragrant sunshine......

I live on a rental property where the landlords are graciously letting me build a garden in the backyard. I'm slowly converting areas from lawn to garden using permaculture techniques.

I have 5 8x4 raised beds. I also have 3 in grounds beds and 8 blueberry bushes. I aim to plant only heirloom seeds. I also live on a corner lot in the city so I don't have too much space. I recently built a greenhouse...

It was a neglected and unloved school garden it the courtyard of the school. But with the kids help we have made it into a place we all love. It's all planted in containers with horrible soil which can make it very...

I started a container garden in 2011 just to see if I had a green thumb. I live in Eastern WA on the north slope of a mountain at 2,300 ft, so I was worried gardening might be challenging on my property. I'm up against...

We started this garden in 2010 and could not believe the harvest!!!  We expanded in 2011 and now we are exhausted because the harvest was so much more.  We are completely organic and feel that this is so helpful for...

Gardening is always on my mind. When I can't be in it, I'm thinking of it. Heirloom seeds with a story make me weak in the knees as well as old garden tools. We moved to our lil cottage in 2010 and have begun the garden...

We are a young family attempting to grow our food. It hasn't been easy, but has been rewarding to say the least. Last year was our first successful garden and this year we are expanding. We decided to move to a new...

Update: We just moved into a new farmhouse.  I'm hoping to make it a grand scale garden escape with fruit trees, vineyards, berry patches and flowers!  Can't wait to play in my garden for the next 20 years!I started...

About 6 years ago, we started on a journey to sustainability within the confines of our own urban 1/4 acre. Hence the dawning of The Yarden where we practice urban yardening. Each growing season we are adding, changing,...

When I moved here there was a small organic garden but most of the topsoil was washed away by gold mining and logging. I'm creating a food forest and learning permaculture practices. There is more life here now but...
