A bike trip across the Adriatic coast of Italy inspired us to start our own urban garden in Denver, Colorado. This passion has grown to encompass permaculture and indigenous growing techniques to our entire 7.5 acre farm. Choosing actions and following paths that are good for mother earth, our community and each other are driving forces in our goal to nourish our guest, ourselves and our neighbors. From making our own soil to planting locally sourced and elder recommended plants that the people of this area have used for generations to help themselves feel better with natural remedies, we lean into ways to make our impact on the land that we steward less and less and create pathways to teach and share what has been both successful and what has been challenging regarding plants and all their wonder. We've planted more than 40 species of subtropical plants and continue to plant more to help hold water and nourish the soil, making our little corner a more vibrant, biodiverse environment that invites new species of birds, animals of all kinds to thrive here.
