This past weekend, we were a host garden to a citywide Garden Tour. We had many people from the community come and tour our garden. We thought it would be fun to invite you and bring you along to see the garden spaces that we have created over the past few years. We use organic and permaculture practices wherever we can including companion planting, hügelkultur, and food forest techniques; like using nitrogen fixing plants around many of our trees and shrubs.

Interested in what you can grow in the North Texas zone 8a area? We often plant some things that you might not find in other gardens. We have a "Fig Forest", a beautiful hugelkultur mound that is planted with many Texas Native plants, raised vegetable and flower beds constructed using the same hügelkultur method as our pollinator friendly hugelmound. Other things that the garden has is Blueberries, Strawberries, Peach, Plum, Apricot, and Fig trees... you might even spot a serviceberry tree is you have a keen eye.

We also have bees both honeybees and native bees in our garden a you might spot a special guest appearance by one of our garden guardians that provides one of the best sources of organic pest control.

We hope you'll come along and enjoy our North Texas garden tour!
