Empress of Dirt Creating an organic eating and perennial garden on a small lot on the edge of a Canadian small town with a small budget and a big love of nature. Also includes garden art trash to treasure creations to add interest to the emerging garden. Would love to have chickens and goats but for now, I bloom where I've planted myself and consider frugality an art form.
Random ramblings of my addled mind. My interests are varied and include urban homesteading, Slow Food, SCA, arts, crafts, reading,and whatever else pops into my head at any moment. You never know for sure what I will be writing about because I don't either.
A single man and his family decide to clear four lots in Detroit and single-handedly grow a garden for their community. The blog was started by a woman residing in the suburbs with ancestral ties to Detroit. She decides to watch Georgia Street Garden grow and document it, Detroit, urban prairies, and a little history on the side as time permits.
