We're planting a mini MEADOW in our suburban front yard (PART 1)

The mini-meadow project has begun! We’re planting a garden border of wildflowers along the street edge of our front yard to start to eat away at the lawn area. We’re certainly getting a lot of weird looks and questions from the neighbours. In this first video, we tear up the sod along half of the frontage. In part 2, we’ll finish removing/flipping sod and seed the border.

This is just part of an overall plan we have to transform the front yard into a productive and beautiful cottage garden and food forest.

Thank you to Frances for helping to get this project started and working out the many kinks on the first day.
