Garden: Charlie's GardenFor my ten years on this boggy bit of mountain land, my gardening has been driven by being an artist/sculptor, with just a small amount of food growing.
I have a polytunnel with tomatoes,peas,beans,
salads,some fruit and lots of propagation of perennials....and growing eucalyptus trees from seed.
In these Peak Oil, Climate Change times, I'm now learning about Permaculture and Edible Forests, and am planning to turn my remaining acre over to broadleaf trees, fruit trees and bushes, nut trees, and bio-mass crops.
A Huge learning curve!
My info says full sun....this year it's been full-on rain like never before!
Garden: The YardenIn 2006 we bought a "yard with a house attached to it" and in 2007 our Yarden was installed and growing. We now have 1700 square feet of organic raised beds, espalier fruit trees and various other interesting edible things. This is season three and this magical space has become a hub for parties, classes and community activity. Gardening really builds friendships! People are amazed when we share with them how to plant things, the importance of seed diversity or the simple joy of cooking what you grow. Every year we have more and more volunteers who join us for our planting party Memorial Day weekend and hang around through the season to see "their" plants growing. It has been a great experience. We will be teaching classes in the winter/spring of 2010 so others in Chicago can learn from our mistakes (ha!) and have their own back or front yard oasis. Check out our blog at theyarden.com or via our fan page on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. We are on a Yarden journey - join us!

I am particulary proud of my stone fruit salad tree, which produces the most delicious nectarines and peaches.
Coming from New Zealand, I have found gardening in Perth particulary challenging with the sandy soil and hot sun.
Garden: Marc's Arad GardenMy all year round arid climate/desert garden is about 430 square meters on 2 levels on a east facing slope in Arad,Israel.From the garden the view is quite spectacular looking in to the great rift valley with the Dead Sea and beyond that the mountains of the Kingdom of Jorden.Outside my garden is the Judean desert and a wadi[dry river bed]with limestone caves used by Beduins up till the '90 and probably by ancient man.
Lower garden is in back of the house and is mostly trees.One section is a succulent garden surrounding a Washingtonia palm with several cactus in between.Edible fruit trees include[included a Granny Smith apple],white mulberry,2 figs,loquat,lemon,lemon-lime and red grapefruit,2 pomagranites and an almond.Ornamental trees are 2 Washingtonia palms,pepper,jacaranda,2 chinaberries,pastacia & misc.desert specie.An overgrown privet has reached tree size.
Upper level in front of the house is between 2 rows of 10 Jerusalem[aleppo]pines on opposite borders.Trees are a Norway Island pine[from house pot],tipuanna[biggest],3 ficus,2 white locust,fig,tabor oak and spike trunked unidentified.Between the trees and against the house are many many pots as the tree roots have closed much of the garden space.As it is,the soil is on limestone bedrock and less than a meter thick.In the ground are many aloes and succulants,some lantana as well as agaves.Under the pines aloes are the only plant that grows well.A pointsette is about 2M tall as I've had it since the 90's!

Garden: Woodland GardenMy garden is in a coastal forest setting amongst some really old trees and nikau palms. It's a mix of edible and cottage plantings; started from scratch after removal of heaps of ginger and other problem weeds.
Garden: Collingwood Community GardenIn Spring of 2005 the institute connected with an amazing team of individuals to spearhead a community garden beneath the guideway at Joyce Skytrain Station. A second community garden was then established in summer 2006. These gardens have become important places for food growing, cultural sharing, leadership development, neighbourhood beautification and land stewardship.
The community garden is a place of beauty and diversity. The members care for several common plots which grow ornamental and edible herbs; a public food boarded on the outside of the garden fence where those passing by can pick and enjoy the harvest and a new butterfly boarder. Inside the fence there are twenty-two plots which have been utilizes by families and individuals of their own enjoyment and harvest. The garden members have been apart of many other projects including developing the Native Berry Trail, Seedy Saturdays and the Collingwood Days Plants Sales.
Garden: Adventure GardenMy Garden is becoming more and more edible by the day if its not edible it has a use of some sort. When I arrived it was very messy and extremely over grown it has taken me a year and a half to get it to a point where it is starting to look amazing. I have added paths and removed lawn areas, made garden lounges and hide aways. Living in a wooded suburb makes for lighting difficulties and shadows are very different between summer and winter so I haVe had go choose plants carefully.
Garden: katie's garden xi started creating my little garden from a peice of old tufty field 5 years ago now..... I live in a wild and remote part of the Yorkshire Dales, Uk a long way above sea level ...winters are long ....and the growing season short. Things in the garden really started to improve whan my lovely partner made me some raised beds and I 'created' a stream which really improved the drainage... I'm currently learning about permaculture and planning on using this more in the design/cycles of growing and living...love trying new ideas and concepts......have just purchased a polytunnel...woooooooo...which I am very excited about and am hoping it will really extend the growing season too...I may even be able to grown tomatoes that eventually become ripe then.....i also keep sheep/hens/ducks/bunny/guinea pigs....who all contribute in their own ways to the edible garden, usually in the form of poo to add to the compost... x
Garden: Jesse's GardensExcited for the coming Spring! Blooms of crocus, crunchy sweet peas and dirt under my fingernails!
Garden: Vegetable GardenSince we moved here in 1991, we have grown a full range of vegetables including potatoes, lettuce, radish, tomatoes, beans, peas, onions, and many herbs. We have mint, oregano, catnip, chives, rosemary, dill, thyme, and cilantro.
Garden: Canadian City Townhouse EdiblesSince we moved into our townhouse, we have experimented with growing fruits & veggies in our south-facing, full-sun garden. There is not a lot of space to work with but we have been pleased with our yields, from swiss chard to strawberries.
Garden: Victoria's Secret GardenThis year I planted mostly veggies that I can use to make baby food for our 8 month old and meals for my husband and I. So far things are growing great. Tomatoes, Cucumber, Spinach, Herbs, Pumpkin, Squash, Beets, Peas, Green Peppers, Carrots and Strawberries.
Garden: Julies veggie gardenWe have a small flower bed in the front yard, and a medium sized vegetable garden in the backyard. This year we have sunflowers, yellow/green beans, tomatoes, green onion, radish, lettuce(3)varieties, carrots, beets, zuchinni, cucumbers, turnips, pumpkin, and peas.
Garden: Indoor Container Garden (in planning)I have always been brutally awful at keeping indoor plants alive but I believe in the principle of try, try again and I am hoping my children's love and help will....help! As a child my dad would sprout grapefruit seeds between paper towel and a glass, put toothpicks into carrots and potatoes and show me how they sprouted, and it was fabulous. I want to do this too but take it to the next level: grow them the full way with my kids so they can see that even indoors we can grow and eat our own food. My main challenge is being a north-south facing townhouse that I have, really, one good kitchen window with south light: my north window gets virtually no direct sunlight, even less in the winter. So, I figure we will stick to what grows relatively well indoors: container tomatoes, a bean plant or two, perhaps some carrots, our herb pot and, just for fun, I will take on the challenge of growing my own coffee.
Garden: pen avewe are trying to grow as many edibles as our family of 5 will eat. two big veggie patches filled with strawberries, cukes, leeks brocolli, cauliflower, beans, corn,tomatoes, onions, celery, carrots, salad greens, ppotaoes, peas etc
Garden: Kellys' Country Aire GardenMy Garden has raised beds and a greenhouse. I have herbs, veggies, seeds, friuts and berries, flowers, grass and hedges. Full sun and Full Shade. A bit of everything. We use NO chemicals or commercial fertilizers. We compost. My kids and pets play everywhere. It's not always at its prettiest, and I neglect it sometimes, but it's mine and I love it. I get to share my bounty with family and neighbors, and growing my own food makes me feel good. I also have a greenhouse and started trying a technique to smother weeds with newspapers and cardboard this year...liking the results! When my kids are bigger I expect there will be even more to offer.
Garden: Meadowlark AcresOver 36 beds with flowers, veggies, herbs & shrubs. Very informal with stone walkways edging most of the beds. I make jellies and herb breads with the fresh picked produce and we have a small market store at the property. Very much a spring/summer/fall garden with lots of color.
Garden: A garden of two halvesThree challenges are faced in this garden...the soil , the aspect and the slope. However , I have enjoyed trying to make something productive out of it and it keeps me busy!
The front garden is pretty steep but gets all the sun ( and wind ). The soil is not too bad but thin in places with rock underneath. Mainly ornamental except for the small bricked area near the house where I get all my seedlings started and grow some edibles.
The back garden is starting to look like an allotment according to my neighbours...their dining room window looks right onto it ( another challenge!). The soil there is pure clay so I have 4 deep beds and a hugelbeet with a few extra bits recently converted to usable soil by a kind of lasagne method. The house shades this garden almost completely in the winter but in summer half of it gets most of the sun available. A large area of flax stops the garden from falling down the gully and is home to 3 chickens at the moment.
Garden: Kilmarth FarmEight year old, one acre country garden in North Canterbury. Mostly planted with cuttings and seedlings from friends and an emphasis food production.

Garden: Garden of LoveFull grown garden with plenty of trees and shrubs. I started a veggie garden in Oct 2009 with a huge variety of vegetables and herbs. Apricot, Mulberry, Avocado, Red plum, Black plum and a Fig tree, already harvesting off.
Greywater system and rainwater harvesting system in Garden. Painted our roof White to help curb global warming. Planning to go solar this year!
Garden: Lush greenThe garden takes advantage of the fact that it faces south and it is protected from the Northern winds by the house. It gets a lot of sun and not much wind. I have a lot of fruit trees, because I love fruits. I even have a beautiful big fig tree. And a herbs garden!

I have various tomato and pepper sprouts. My Herb Garden (which is scattered in pots everywhere) consists of Lavender, Rosemary, Chamomile, various Basils, Verbana, Lemon Balm, Cat Nip & Grass, various Basils and Chives, Dill, Parseley, Thyme, Corriander, and Spearmint. I also have 84 Mammoth Sunflowers lining my property.
Garden: Michelle's Garden HavenSuper small this year. We are in a ground floor apartment and the good news is it is south facing. We are growing tomatoes Peppers and whatever cannot be ignored at the plant stores :) The stuff inside will get some time outside (except the orchids) and I will get some more ferns next week for the entryway (I love ferns) and some potted annuals for color. Maybe I can get permission to plant my irises and lilac from the old place.

Bev RampfI'm a born gardener and love to be in the fresh air tending to everything green. We inherited our garden 19 years ago and have not really had the opportunity to make too many structural changes BUT have revamped beds and plant material over & over again in the 19 years. Each day in the garden is different & this makes for much variety in the life of the garden and gardener. Veggies & herbs are my latest favorite, being able to put on the table fresh from the garden is just so rewarding & even more so is being able to supply friends with home grown produce!!! May we become self sufficient soon, soon. One of my loves is being able to nurture & grow something unusual and this I have found in Clematis and Peonie which have been rewarding +++ and relatively easy without much fuss. I just wish I could find the winning formula for my orchids??? They won't flower. Anybody with a winning tip - please pass on.

lindaI am 63 years old and live in North East England. I moved into this house just over 1 year ago. The garden is huge compared to what I have beenused to. When I moved in it was very overgrown with far too many holly trees and far too much ivy growing everywhere. The 'bushes' were unkempt and resembled trees. I had lot of work to do thinning things out last year. Much of what was cut back I have used as chippings. The rest of the trunks and branches I have spread about the garden. This gives it a very rustic feel. My intention is to grow edible things out the back and have flowers in the front. I have got a lot of tomatoe trees off friends and have grown some myself from seed. Am trying to grow herbs, pease/beans, salad stuff, sprouts (yummy), cauliflower, broccli, cabbage, carrots. Too late this year for potatoes but there is always tomorrow. I recently added a pond and hope to attract some wildlife. You are welcome to look and comment on anything.

Katie Shepherd.....hello, Katie Shepherd is indeed a shepherd ...i also have hens, ducks, dogs, cats, guinea pigs and a rabbit living around and about..i will v soon be the owner of 2 little Hereford cows too which I will hopefully be hand milking at least one of them. I love living by the annual seasons and cycles and growing edible plants and planting trees fits in well with this. I'm learning to make felt and spin with wool from my sheep and hopefully am going to experiment with wool as a mulch on the veg beds this year too. I'm always aiming for increased self sufficiency and sustainable living and less dependency on the big multinational companies that seem to invade and define our existence more and more. I'm pretty excited about meeting with other folk across the world who are enjoying their gardening and growing lives too. Oh, and i'm also a palliative care nurse x
