Edible / Sustainable gardening -
Posted: Sun Jun 11, 2017 4:45 pm
Hello all,
I am new to this site and to an early century small-town city home. I am really happy to be here. My house is in a National Historic District but my house is specifically not on the National Register. The home exterior currently contributes architecturally to the District and I have guidelines to maintain the status if I wish to voluntarily. My specific home is not required to abide by the District rules / guidelines, but I would like to. We are in gardening zone 7b.
Having the knowledge in hand about what I can and can't do with my front yard and that of the lot which can be seen from the street.... I am wanting to increase the edible landscape where I can on the property. The home came with wonderful soil and an established garden plot with a tiny picket garden fence. I am slowly identifying the trees, foliage and flowering plants. Are there any members whom have created or maintained edible landscapes or partial sustainable gardening on a small property or in-town lot? I would love to discuss the possibilities.
