and don’t forget to include the clothes line and the kids trampoline!
These were just some of the features that I recently helped a busy young family work into an edible landscape plan for their very steep six hundred square metre section in Port Chalmers.
The final layout integrated and clustered features using permaculture design principles for low maintenance and maximum diversity and yield. The vegetable garden, glass house and chickens, for example, are clustered around the yoga lawn in a funky sun ray pattern.
Three hand drawn concept+ designs resulted: A planting Plan, Hard Landscape Layout and a colour area theme sketch.
