Gardens
Veggie Garden:
This garden is productive year round with veggies, herbs and edible flowers. The garden is full of your standard veggies, from sweat peas to squash to tomatoes. Fruit trees were also planted this year that will be productive in one to two years -- a weeping mulberry, apple, cherry, kiwi vines, grape vines and a fig. There are a few lesser known exotic edible plants in the garden as well -- oxalis root, goji berry and golden berry (these are wonderful fresh or dried). The garden grows some tea herbs like lemon verbena and chamomile as well as medicinal herbs like rue and comfrey. The garden has been well maintained for soil health with cover crop and regular organic fertilization, and flowers like allysum have been planted to attract beneficial insects as part of an integrated pest management plan.
Moon Garden:
This garden is full of scented white flowers that will catch the light of the moon on full moon nights. Night blooming jasmine, datura, evening primrose and scented tobaccos open or emit their perfume at night. Milkweeds and dutchman's pipevine also provide important habitat for endangered monarch butterflies and for pipevine swallowtail butterflies. This garden is perfect for enjoyment after a soak in the hot tub on a moonlit night.
