Solarpunk Habitat Garden

  • LOCATION: Walker
  • 1/8 acre suburban lot converted to habitat and food gardens.
  • Over 100 types of perennial plants.
  • Certified Wildlife Habitat through the National Wildlife Federation.

This habitat project started in 2020 as a standard lawn and is now a thriving young forest including trees, shrubs, herbs, groundcovers, roots, mushrooms, and vines.

The stewards of this compact plot desired to reduce their consumption and increase their resilience while also repairing their relationship with the creatures and the land.

After extensive reading on the subject, they started introducing a diverse array of native and food plants following permaculture principles.
