Georgia Street Community Garden 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.
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.
a begining gardeners efforts to turn our city lot into a sustainable urban homestead by livin' local and cookin' seasonal.
