We are working with permaculture principles to experiment with how the pleasure and responsibilities of a common garden play out in a shared space with temporary residents. Watch us growAt Frontyard there are now four raised garden beds, a sweet potato patch, and worm farm all overlooked by resident trees. The garden is abundant with many energies: it is a place for food, a place to gather and a place to learn. At Frontyard we look at the garden as a sign and example of vitality - if the garden is thriving, so are we.
If you want to get your hands dirty in good company then check the [https://www.frontyardprojects.org/events/ events calendar] for our regular garden working bees. You can also join the '''The #garden grows.''' channel on our slack space ([https://frontyard-slackin.herokuapp.com/ join here]) where we share updates and observations about what's happening in the garden week to week.'''
