I asked for a spiral herb and tea garden and wow, did he deliver! I read that the spiral provides lots of different environments for the plants (full sun, partial sun, shade, dry at the top, wetter at the bottom, etc) so it seemed like a fun thing to try. We filled it with rosemary, sage, oregano, lavender, dill, chamomile, lemon grass, lemons balm, parsley, and a couple others. Hoping it will fill in as the summer progresses. We’ll see how this year goes and tweak placement as needed. Everything is always a work in progress…. The next thing I want to do, is get some stepping stones for a path up the spiral so I can reach everything. But for now, this is just what I want! • • • • • #spiral #spiralherbgarden #teagarden #herbgarden #growyourown #growyourownherbs #backyardgarden #doityourself #dirttherapy #homeimprovement

Wandering around the mini spiral herb garden bed is such a pleasant aromatic experience! I'm so grateful that we built this last year. It was a nice experiment. While inspecting the structure and planning for this upcoming season, I realized it needed a dire cleanup and cutback. The sage, curry, thyme, and chives all played nicely with each other. However, my strawberries were trying to take over, with trailing vines growing under the leaves or spilling out and across the spiral bed. With the delicate balance of my spiral garden restored, I'm left wondering what else should I grow in here? Swipe for before. #spiralgarden #herbgarden #gardenrevival #brickgarden #strawberrytakeover

I've got big plans... I'm still learning to be a mountain gardener. And we travel more days than we are home in the summer. But I will not let that deter me... My pre-summer goal is to create more space for gardening in my yard this summer. I'm thinking spiral herb garden... Don't they look divine? Anyone have one? What do I need to know? Any other ideas? #spiralherbgarden #herbgarden #mountaingarden #wannabegardener #homesteadlife #backtobasics #mountainmama #pinteresthelp #sendmeideas #helppp

What does thriving soil look like? Abundant with life. Rich cholately, sweet smelling dirt. Earthworms are a great indicator of soil fertility. They assist in water movement, nutrient exchange, soil structure and plant health. Here I am unveiling a tomato engulfed spiral herb garden and replanting the Rosemary. This is a 18month old sheet mulched soil system within a spiral herb garden. The sheet mulching method provides a biodiverse solution as a no dig garden, many materials coming together to encourage a wide variety of bacteria and biology, this equates to a healthy soil food web. No soil is dead soil, it may just simply need some attention to unlock its potential.

I’ve been learning a bit about permaculture and building a spiral herb garden. Here’s my progress so far 😊. It’s going to take awhile to finish. I’m collecting rocks from around the property and adding dirt as I spiral up 💪 #permaculture #spiralherbgarden #flowergarden

The Herb Spiral is an example of Permaculture Design. It utilizes a core principle of permaculture design in that every element is placed in relationship to another so that they assist each other. As you will notice the center, highest point of the spiral is where the most sun will hit the plants and where the most wind will occur. Mediterranean plants thrive in these types of conditions. They prefer soil that drains and can tolerate full sun and windy conditions. As you go further down the spiral, the spiral will act as shade at different parts of the day for plants that don't like a ton of sun. The spiral also creates a slope in which heavy water from rain fall can travel down, and into a small frog pond at the bottom. The addition of the pond adds another principle of Permaculture Design. The principle of Polyculture and Diversity of beneficial species for a productive, interactive system. Use of edge and natural patterns (spiral found in nature) for best effect is yet a third principle utilized in this style garden. You can fit more plants in a spiral than you can in traditional rows in a rectangle. They are also often times easier to reach without having to create walkways between rows. Since Eugene is a Mediterranean climate, a lot of these herbs can survive all winter. Try this design for your next herb garden!

Bedeng tanam bermacam bentuknya. Salah dua yang kami sedang buat adalah spiral herb dan key hole bed. Bedeng tanam ini berada di depan saung dan terletak di kitchen garden zona 1. Spiral herb adalah bedeng tanam mengikuti pola alam spiral fibonacci yang ada di keong. Dengan bentuk ini diharapkan ada efisiensi dalam penggunaan air karena air siraman akan berputar mengaliri dari yang posisi paling tinggi ke yang rendah. Juga ada efektifitas ruang dimana tanaman yang membutuhkan banyak SM (full sun) bisa berdampingan dengan tanaman yang butuh sedikit SM (partial shade). Begitu juga dengan bedeng keyhole. Dimana akan ada efektifitas ruang penanaman. Area pemeliharaan akan lebih sedikit dibanding area penanaman. Sehingga didapatkan jumlah tanaman budidaya yang lebih banyak jika dibanding memakai bedeng tanam yang persegi biasa. Bedeng-bedeng ini diharapkan bisa meningkatkan "yield" dari kebun sekaligus sebagai area pembelajaran bagi pekebun dan kami sendiri. Terimakasih. 🍀sustainable tomorrow, green action today✊️ #permaculturedesign #keyholebed #spiralherbgarden #polaalam #naturepattern #kebunpermakultur #kebunorganik #permaculturefarming #salampermaculture #salambogor #salamekosistem

[en español👇🏾] The edge is a dynamic space, and as Lisa Fithian puts it, that place of dynamism is where all things are possible. And us as agents of change, using our power, we can be the creators of what will be. What we can imagine we can create, and what we start to put into practice now, is what is going to determine where we come out on the other side. When you think about permaculture, probably the first thing that comes to your mind is the spiral herb garden, but you can find opportunities like this one with less intervention. In the city, growing from cement cracks you can find amazing weeds. We can take advantage of similar spots in our zone 1, the most visited area outside our house - even a balcony! Look around and find those edges where different ecosystems meet or where different elements collide: like some soil and in between the cement cracks! You can complete these spaces with perennial polycultures adding a mix of aromatics, medicinals and edible plants that will be sustained by the fertility, stability and adaptability produced by the edge effect. /// El borde es un espacio dinámico y, como dice Lisa Fithian, es el lugar dinámico donde todo es posible. Y nosotres, como agentes de cambio, utilizando nuestro poder, podemos crear lo que será. Podemos crear lo que imaginamos y lo que empecemos a poner en práctica ahora determinará lo que salga del otro lado. Cuando piensas en permacultura, quizá lo primero que se te viene a la mente es la espiral de hierbas, pero con menos intervención puedes crear oportunidades similares. En la ciudad, creciendo en medio del cemento, en los bordes, encontramos maravillosas hierbas. Podemos aprovechar espacios similares en nuestra zona 1, aquella más próxima a la vivienda, incluso en un balcón! Mira a tu alrededor y encuentra estos bordes en los que diferentes ecosistemas se encuentran o donde diferentes elementos se estrellan, como la tierra en medio del cemento! Puedes completar estos espacios con policultivos perennes añadiendo especies comestibles, aromáticas y medicinales que se sostienen gracias a la fertilidad, estabilidad y adaptabilidad producida por el efecto borde.

Have you used an Herb Spiral? Do you want to try one? Let us know what you think. A Spiral Herb Garden is an herb garden that’s designed in such a way as to create micro-climates, allowing you to grow a variety of herbs, with different shade/light tolerances, within inches of each other and are often considered the crown jewel of any sustainable yard. #spiralherbgarden #spiralherb #Permaculture #PermacultureHomestead #Homesteading #FoodForest #PermacultureHomesteading #RegenerativeFarming #PermacultureGardening #AlternativeBuilding #EdibleLandscaping #OffGrid #PermacultureFarm #BackToBasics #GrowYourOwn #EarthCare #Chickens #RainwaterHarvesting #Gardening #eczema #naturalingredients #earthfriendly #natural #lettheeartbreath #farm #saveaseed #gardener

Dustin planted the idea of a #spiralherbgarden in my head. I didn’t realize what I was getting myself into. 🙄 If you ever watch a YouTube instructional video and think “that looks easy”, tell yourself it’s not. This was my first (and last) mortaring project. And though it took about 4 times as long as I had hoped, I’m so happy with how it turned out. Now I have all of my herbs conveniently located outside my kitchen door and don’t have to worry about Taos peeing all over them. 😂😂 #herbs #garden #gardening #growyourownfood #kitchenbasics #diy #diyprojects

The final work on the People's Pollinator Garden should be completed by June 2. On that Thursday, the O will host a workshop to create the herb spiral. We're looking for a few (5 slots left) who want to get their hands dirty and their minds full as they learn why creating a perennial herb micro-climate is vital for pollinators that venture out on those occasional warm winter days. We will also talk about beneficial herbs (food) for the pre-transformational butterfly caterpillars. Workshop begins at 9. Rocks will be spiraled and herbs planted by early afternoon. Cost for hands-on work/playshop—a donation to the Orchard.

👏🤙Huge Mahalos to GIVE and Heartlight Montessori School for helping us to rediscover a classic Hāmākua Harvest feature!🙏🤙💐 It was a lot of work to get this looking so good. First off, we had to dig out the larger, established guinea grass roots, rocks, and weedmat, then we layered the ground with cardboard, so no light-holes exist, loaded the zone with a heaping layer of mulch, and shaped with the original rocks - a brand-new spiral.🌼🌞🌨 Not only is the spiral herb garden a pleasure to look at, but it is also symbolic in that it marks the beginning of a new project that Hāmākua Harvest is excited to offer. Māla Kaiāulu is a community garden that invites folks to have a personal garden plot within The Demo Orchard where they can grow plants be it for their own home use or to sell for profit. We provide shared tools, mulch, water, and the space so people can get their hands dirty alongside others, sharing experiences, and growing as a community.

𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗛ü𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗸𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗯 𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐛 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤? This Permaculture design maximises the natural force of gravity. It allows water to drain freely and seep down through all layers. This leaves a drier zone at the top (perfect for hardy herbs) and a moist area at the bottom for water lovers. The design also creates microclimates. This allows you to plant a diverse range of herbs in a variety of positions (sunny, sheltered and shady). In a typical garden bed or pot, all plants are grown on the one level. So the growing conditions are the same. The herb spiral design offers you multiple options in a compact space. The bricks form the backbone of the herb spiral structure, which is filled with organic hügelkultur matter and adds nutrients for the plant. The herb spiral garden is watered from the top. Moisture filters down to the bottom, creating different moisture zones. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐨 𝐇ü𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐤𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤? Like all organic matter, wood will slowly decompose into the soil. Billions of bacteria, mycelium from fungi, and other creatures will slowly colonize any sort of wood and begin the process of turning it back into top soil. Hügelkultur beds, then, basically help the soil organisms along their path by giving them a concentrated amount of food material. By placing large amounts of logs, branches, and other woody materials, you are inviting a whole host of different organisms into a specific area. These beds are also a source of long-term fertility. Whereas mulches and leaf litter will be broken down into fertile topsoil in a couple of months, it will take years for the soil organisms to transform that wood pile into soil. You can plant crops into those beds and on top of the slowly decomposing wood piles. The logs and tree limbs in hügelkultur beds act as a slow release fertilizer that will offer fertility for your plants for several years. By covering the hügelkultur beds with top soil, finished compost, and mulch, you are creating a medium where you can immediately plant out almost any sort of crop. ⬇️CONTINUED IN COMMENTS⬇️

26th June VS 19th April! What a difference 9 weeks can make to a garden 🪄✨🪴 If you’re thinking of practising more permaculture principles in your garden or allotment this year, there are lots of ways you can do that… 👇 🌿 Observe your space and take note of the different microclimates created during the seasons and even times of the day 🌿 Choose plants suited to your local environment and microclimates 🌿 Plant crops where they are best suited rather than manipulating the environment 🌿 Create guilds to help plants support each other naturally 🌿 Catch and store as much energy and resources as possible 🌿 Put more organic matter back into the earth than you take 🌿Design your garden before planting to help implement your permaculture system These are just a few ways! There are so many more and permaculture principles overlap with lots of different growing styles, so you’ll likely find that you have already been implementing a few of them for quite some time! ✌️💚 If you have any tips for growers looking to incorporate permaculture principles in their garden, do leave them below and share the knowledge! 🥰💚

#flashbackfriday to my herb spiral last summer. Why grow herbs in a spiral garden like this (aside from, obviously, how cool it looks)? 🌿 By creating different levels of elevation as you build upward, you’re also creating tiny microclimates to suit different kinds of herbs or plants within a relatively small space. 🌿 The soil at the top of the spiral will drain more easily and therefore stay drier. It’ll also receive the most direct sun (depending on where you build it, of course). This is a great situation for growing herbs like rosemary and sage that like dry, warm soil and as much sun as they can get. 🌿 The soil moisture and temperature will naturally grow a little cooler and damper as you move to the bottom of the spiral - great for herbs like peppermint that like to keep their feet a little wet. 🌿 If you have plants that like a little shade, planting where the top of the spiral will cast an afternoon shadow is ideal. 🌿 Do have a herb spiral? Or are you considered building one? 🌿 #permaculture #spiralgarden #spiralherbgarden #herbspiral #herbgarden #herbgardening #gardening #gardendesign #permaculturegarden #smallspacegardening #rosemary #sage #mint #growyourownherbs #herbgrowing #herbgrower #grow #plantperson #plants #plantystuff #yayplants #spring #summer #summergarden #gardenplanning #medicinegarden #inthegarden #garden #growagarden

The herb spiral in winter is looking a little straggly but still productive as ever 🌚🌿✨ Just coming up to a year old and housing approx 50 varieties of herbs, edible flowers and medicinal plants, the spiral structure creates microclimates which mean that a much greater diverse array of plants can live happily together in this small space, than they could in a larger open bed. Spiral gardens are such a fun and interesting first feature for anyone looking to start their own permaculture garden, as it is a great example of how we can utilise the elements to create a more sustainable way of gardening, and creates a conversation starter when guests are over 🗣 I have a reel showing my spiral in closer detail, I’ll link it to my stories so that you can see 👀 Also check out my ‘herb spiral’ story highlights! If you have any questions on how to build a spiral, which materials you can make it from (there are lots of ways and I only used brick because I had plenty!) Maybe you’re unsure which way to angle your spiral? (this is very important for the spiral to do it’s job properly!) or what plants might be best positioned where? Then please do leave them below and I’ll get back to you with what I’ve learnt so far ☺️ (Don’t forget to save this if you’re interested in hearing the replies! 🤎) Do you think it’s a lovely feature in the garden or do you think the brick is a bit of an eyesore? I’ve had mixed feedback… but I love it! 😁

It’s been quite some time since I have shared anything from plot 81! 😮 Since taking over the new space next door in September, my garden has taken a bit of a back seat in all of the excitement (that and I lost my keys 😆🔐) so I thought I’d take you on a little first allotment update walk* for the start of the year. *I say little but my site is quite big so maybe make a cup of tea before sitting down to watch cos it’s 8mins long 😆🫖 If you’d like a walk around of my new plot next door then let me know and I’ll try remember to do one on my next visit ☺️ How’s your plot looking at the moment? Still in the depths of winter or are you all ready for spring?! 🙌🌷🌼🌱

What is permaculture, and how do you design a garden based on its principles? These are questions I’m often asked, from other allotment holders on here, but also from curious friends and gardeners off line too. As I start to expand my forest garden, taking on a second plot of the same size next door, I’ll be sharing my process through regular update videos with @canna.uk.official over on YouTube, but I thought it would also be helpful to share some more general information on permaculture principles here for those either taking on a new plot of their own, those wanting to convert their existing space, or anyone who’s interested in learning how to create a more sustainable garden ✨🌿 My new plot is 325sqm and I have been lucky enough to inherit several trees, 2 big ponds, 2 beautiful buildings and tonnes of beautiful soil that’s been untouched for years 🪱 The total space is now 640sqm, and 5 years ago I would have been so overwhelmed at even the thought of that much land to look after. But, the more I learn about the ways in which we can mimic the sustainable processes of natural ecosystems, the more my garden looks after itself, and the more time I have for talking to the plants & animals 😁🦉 If there are any topics you’d like me to cover in particular, either about my first plot, the new space or permaculture practices, please do let me know and I’ll try my best to answer them! ☺️🌀 📸 My first plot, September 2021

Spiral Herb. Ketika melihat desain spiral herb, auto naksir. 😍 Selain desainnya yang menarik ternyata spiral herb menciptakan iklim mikro yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan tanaman di dalamnya. Dengan desain berbentuk spiral, maka air akan mengalir dari atas ke bawah sehingga tanah di bagian atas cenderung cepat kering. Sedangkan di bagian bawah, tanah menjadi lebih lembab. Ada jenis herb yang menyukai kondisi tanah yang kering dan berpasir dan ada juga yang lebih suka tanah yang dingin dan lembab. Penempatan setiap tanaman disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan si tanaman. Contoh : rosemary, tanaman ini tidak membutuhkan banyak air dan menyukai sinar matahari sehingga diletakkan di tempat yang paling atas. Berbeda halnya dengan tanaman mint, yang suka lembab. Untuk urutan jenis tanaman silakan cek slide ke 4. Selain itu, spiral herb juga membantu kita mengatasi masalah keterbatasan lahan, Dengan teknik menanam ke atas bentuk spiral, kita bisa menanam berbagai macam jenis herb di lahan yang terbatas. Di kebun samping rumah, kami berencana akan membuat spiral herb kedua, versi herb lokal, namun dibagian bawah ada tambahan kolam kecil. Untuk koleksi tanaman herb, kami memesan bibit herb ke @bibitanaman. Koleksi herb nya lengkap kap kap. ❤️ Yang tertarik mengulik tentang spiral herb, sila baca artikel berikut ini : https://thepermaculturecollective.com/building-a-herb-spiral/# NB : Untuk yang tertarik belajar berkebun, pagi ini saya akan mengisi kelas Berkebun di Lahan Terbatas di @ketumbarws.

It has been in the works for such a long time and in my dreams for even longer. It is so amazing to have it come to life! Two of my brothers came to visit and helped us knock this out in one day- I have posted a whole blog post on the process, so you can go read all about it via the link in my bio, but I wanted to share the process shots here. This will not get plants until the Spring, but I couldn’t wait to share, so it won’t be the last you see of it! 😆Swipe to see how this came together and for a look at my furry supervisors! 😉 #diylandscaping #outdoordecor #diyprojects #dreamtoreality #solarlamp #createwhatyoulove #lovewherewelive #diy #ediblelandscaping #herbgarden

It’s Relaxation Day today, and tying in very nicely with the end of #nationalallotmentweek! 😃 We all know that gardening (and being outside in general) is immensely beneficial in reducing anxiety and regulating our stress responses, but there are also loooads and loads of plants we can grow, gather and use to further de-stress ourselves for those times when life starts moving a bit faster than we’d like 😅 My brick spiral is packed with medicinal plants and healing herbs, and a lot of what I grow is focused towards feeding mental well being as well as the physical. Here are some of my favourite calming plants, what they can be helpful for (🌸) and how to use them (🌿) Echinacea 🌸 Stress + immune system 🌿 Teas + tinctures Mugwort 🌸 Anxiety, lucid dream + calming 🌿 Teas, oils and topically Clary and White Sages 🌸 Brain health + mood boosting 🌿 Teas + tinctures Chamomile and Lavender 🌸 Sleep + relaxation 🌿 Teas and in bath water Blue Skullcap 🌸 Stress, nervous tension + sedative 🌿 Teas + tinctures Lemon Balm 🌸 Stress + mood booster 🌿 Teas, bath water and tied in my hair! 💁🏻‍♀️👃🍋 Teas can be made with fresh or dried plants but you’ll generally need twice the amount of fresh to dry for the same effects. All of these plants can be used as incense 🌋 and they can all be smoked as a tobacco alternative too 😃💚🙌 ps: swipe for the same view 6 months ago today!

Permaculture design calls for designing and developing our spaces as ‘sensibly’ as possible. For those looking to get into permaculture, an herb spiral is an awesome first project to get in to! 🧱🌿🌀 For my garden, I chose the spiral to be a feature included for its space saving practicality, and its beauty. It is a real conversation starter to anyone who visits, and my herb spiral allows me to demonstrate and speak about permaculture principles with eye opening ease, sparking up interest from those unfamiliar to the idea. My spiral is made from bricks - because I had inherited so many on my plot - but you can use all sorts of materials to build your spiral, some of the ways I have seen are with.. 💚 Logs from trees, cut at different lengths and placed upright 💚 Rocks or stones. These can be built with the dry wall method or mortared for a posher spiral! 💚 Clay or mud dug from the garden (formed in to cob) Honestly, I wasn’t sold on the idea of using bricks - ideally I wanted beautiful large stones, however I had a huge pile of unsightly bricks on my plot that were perfect for the job, so waste not want not. But I must say, just 3 months on and the spiral is looking banging, I don’t think the bricks detract from its beauty and most importantly it is doing its job at the same time. A space saving, practical, element utilising and beautiful structure that gives a nod to nature with its Fibonacci design that not only creates a sense of harmony in our gardens, but also connects with our subconscious and draws us in 🌀 If you’d like to know how I built this or a photo step by step, then let me know and I can get one up for you. Do let me know what you think of my spiral, and if you plan to build your own! 😃

My herb spiral peeking out from behind the glistening lupins, just after an early summer rain filled the air with that damp, earthy scent of summer 💦😍 ‘Petrichor’ - the smell of rain on a warm, dry day is caused by a combination of a few different elements - including the secretion of oils by some plants, chemicals from soil dwelling bacteria, and the ozone. 🌫 Some plants and soil dwelling bacteria release chemicals when there is a water shortage in a bid to stop other seeds from sprouting. The chemicals secreted are carried by the wind, and mix with minerals as they hit rock, stone and tiny crevices - causing the smell of rain! 🌧 It’s one of my favourite scents, along with cut grass - but it’s a bit better because I don’t get itchy eyes 😅😳

FINALLY!! Our little herb corner is built and planted out! 🙌🏼 • We didn’t have enough room for a full spiral so I thought maybe a little mountain road would be fun! And wow has it exceeded my expectations! S/o to my husband for always helping me turn my garden dreams into reality and building up the herb patch so perfectly 🥺💕 I’m so excited to see how things grow in this space 🌿

The boys want a tea garden (I promise this was completely their idea- of course I’m happy to support more garden beds ☺️) and we have a ton of leftover brick pavers, so we’re trying a spiral herb garden. This is just the first layer, but will be taller when complete. #spiralherbgarden #teagarden #herbgarden

This weekend we planted beans (256 seeds to hopefully thin to about 70 plants), zucchini, desi squash, pumpkin, Illinois squash, nasturtium, and sunflowers. We also bathed all 13 adult chickens and treated for mites, added paint and wheels to the brooder/ mini coop, and moved the goat and chicken yard to their early summer spot. All this in addition to endless weeding and watering, an enormous amount of mowing and weed whacking, cleaning, meal prep, and play dates and teacher appreciation week gift making. We are... the most tired. #farmlife #farmkidsofinstagram #farmkids #tomatoes #seedlings #beans #polebeans #bushbeans #summersquash #squash #zucchini #desisquash #pumpkin #illinoissquash #peppers #chilipeppers #plantsmakepeoplehappy #gardening #kitchengarden #spiralherbgarden #herbgarden #farmingishard #chickensofinstagram #goatsofinstagram #dairygoats #nigeriandwarfgoats #centralcoast #centralcoastcalifornia #atascadero

Last summer we cut down 5 spruce trees on our property that were hammered hard by a fungal pathogen in these parts. The death of a tree is always a sad thing to me, but within death is creativity and new life, so I decided to make good use of the life that once held sway here. This spiral garden design also functions as a hugelkulter bed, which will sustain life for a long time as it slowly breaks down. The spruce holding it all together, should stick around a lot longer however, which is what I want. I inoculated the wood below with spent and trichoderma contaminated masters mix bags and some soy hulls for fresh nitrogen to help speed decomposition along. Then I layered hardwood leaves on top, then native soil, then finished compost. What cool gardening projects are you working on this year? What resources do you have that could be used creatively?

En mi taller online sobre huertos urbanos, veremos varias técnicas para sembrar en espacios pequeños, incluyendo la técnica de permacultura del huerto en espiral que nos permite sembrar verticalmente, mucho más de lo que podríamos sembrar en el suelo que ocupa. 🌀 También nos permite crear microclimas para varias plantas, animales e insectos, y maximizar el uso del agua🌀 Son de mis diseños preferidos en el jardín y tengo hermosos recuerdos del día que construimos este espiral de las fotos entre amig@s. 🌀 Iniciamos el 15 de mayo y hay precio especial hasta el 08 ✨ Para toda la información, sigue el link en mi bio o visita directamente www.yosoygaia.com/huertosurbanos 🌿

We started a beautiful spiral Herb and sensory garden at the @themellowsubmarinecamp and we're loving it. I got all those pavers for free off of Craigslist. Wood and cardboard also from cast-offs to create a hugelkultur bed (retains water, provides mycorrhizal activity.) Yay, thrifty reuse! #sensoryplay #spiralherbgarden #spiral #gardening #zone5b #herbgarden #hugelkultur #hugelkulture #growitmyself #gardenlove

I just love seeing what is coming up in this new yard of ours. It’s sooo hard to wait and assess, rather than just dig and plant. I’m crossing my fingers that some peonies come up somewhere, anywhere. 🌸🤞🏼 I’m almost finished determining the bed layout for the veggies. And I’m torn between to places for the herb spiral 🌿 🌀 I can’t wait to start that project this weekend (if my hands cooperate). There’s so many treasures to reclaim on this property 😍❤️ #urbanpermaculturegarden #gardenlove #learningpermaculture #spring #daffodils #spiralherbgarden #troypermaculture #reclaimedwood #sweatequity #bungalowstyle #bungalowrenovation

A few more plants in the herb spiral - this morning there was a light frost and the basil has gone limp and dark. I do hope it’s not killed - everything else seems all right. . . . . . . #herbspiral #spiralherbgarden #livingslowly #theartofslowliving #intentionalliving #slowliving #druidry #greenspace #natureheals #happiness #apronlife #outdooraltar #backgardenmagic #forestdaughter #bardsofinstagram #obod
