Foundation Transformation
This client moved to their home within the last year, and started fresh with a blank slate. This site posed two challenges: very little space, and pits of sand by the front door. Because we were planting right at the foundation, we choose all perennial flowers, and a quite a few herbs (nothing like trees or shrubs with huge root systems). The harvestables in this design are: mountain mint, orange mint, peppermint, white sage, mother of thyme, creeping thyme, tarragon, and chives. We will be watching the plants that were planted in the former sand pit closely especially in the hotter months for drying out.
Rainbow Mailbox Beautification
This client was looking to spruce up the entrance of the house for a very small (7 person) at home wedding! The goal was to fill the empty area with lots of colorful flowers. The perennial flowers included blues, purples, pinks, greens, and yellow. With special attention to pollinator friendly Cinderella MilkWeed: habitat for Monarch Butterflies, and Bella Gaura which bees and butterflies love. And of course, we have Harvest-able! Chef's Choice Rosemary, a spicy and flavorful variety that can be used in cooking, as tea, or in topicals.
Easy Access Herb Row
An install includes knowledge applied for plants to thrive. On this Herb Row, we had mint, rosemary, sage, lemongrass, and lavender. All of those have different conditions to thrive. Pictured here is a custom soil mix for the lavender, which has been known not to do well in Georgia red clay without special help.
Hillside Harvest
In this install I created water catchment and infiltration ditches perpendicular to the slope. This makes use of the downward flowing water by stopping it and holding it as it waters the group of plants beside it. A group of plants that work together: Bee- Balm - harvestable medicinal herb for building the immune system, and strawberries for delighting in- both attract pollinators with their flowers, and two types of garlic to deter pests, bacteria and fungus, and to harvest. Water infiltration helps to get through droughts, and prevent flooding, and the plants prevent erosion, and aerate the soil.
Backyard Blueberries
In this plant grouping - we wanted to meet the client's desires for seasonal interest in a bare space. In the winter- we will see huge Camellia blooms, which might distract us when the blueberry bushes are bare. We, of course, had to have the blueberries- harvestable for both birds and the human bird-watchers in the summer. In every season the pop of rainbow colors of the Heuchera and the magic of the gold dust Acuba dazzle the eyes. We can't wait for this install to grow up!
Consult
A successful design or care plan comes from big picture observation. We look at many aspects of what exists as is: the plant life, the animal usage, the water patterns, the vegetation, soil conditions, human features like traffic, access, pathways, views... This is necessary step because it will help us interact with all of these dynamics with more consideration. We have to look at the past and how its showing up in the present, to move into the future.
Connecting With Food Source
When you choose Triple Goddess Greens, you choose organic. We can design, install, and pick a care plan that yields garden fresh food. While we wait for perennials to fill in, annuals like this veggie garden can serve multiple purposes. Of course, they are edible, but they also greatly attract pollinators, and can build the soil's nutrient bank at the end of the season. We strongly believe that this direct connection with our food source, growing diverse crops cleanly close-by will improve our entire ecosystem. The faraway lands where monocropping, chemicals rain, shipping resources add up against Life, any amount that we can break that pattern does good for our ecosystem.
Creek Clean-Up
It may take more time, it may be harder work- but using chemicals rather than my time and labor was not a possibility. All manner of creatures use this water- so after many years of neglect- I hand carved out the roots from various levels keeping watch for salamanders and other critters.
