2025-2027

Ongoing restoration of four garden beds (totaling 312sf) that were in disrepair and overgrown with weeds and invasive species; two multicrop plots, one asparagus plot, and one raspberry plot. Continued weeding has reduced invasive populations and allowed good plants to crowd out the invaders. Purposeful applications of compost sourced from the garden itself via leaf litter and cover crops has slowly brought more diversified life into the soil.

2026-2027

Ongoing restoration of a 2.5 acre area possessing an overgrown orchard with 14 known apple trees nearing a century, some exceeding a century in age. Intensive invasive species removal (holly, ivy, hawthorne, himalayan blackberry) as well as vigorous pruning is beginning to set these trees up for a healthy spring. 

2026-2027

Ongoing restoration of four garden beds (totaling 536sf) that were in disrepair and overgrown with weeds and invasive species; three multicrop plots and one hops/squash plot. Continued weeding has reduced invasive populations and is allowing the new cover crops (fava bena and daikon radish) to establish themselves. Purposeful applications of high-quality garden soil and applications of compost are further restoring the soil.
