Before and After- A Colorado Garden

Posted by Teresa Smith over 12 years ago

I started this garden April 2011. The more desolate photos show what it looked like in April. The after shots were taken in early September. This shows what one can do with sheet mulch and some TLC.

This project is ongoing, changing and growing. Before the project began, the landscape was parched and dry with very few plants. Each year I carve out another section to plant more trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals. All of the plants are useful and have multiple functions. Almost all are edible, medicinal or both. I have added in the element of beauty and fragrance.         Sheet mulch was used to create most of the planting areas.

Andrew Ramponi : I'm reminded of the anecdote of the woodpecker, perched atop a tree who looks round at the vast spreading green progress of the forest below and says "Ah. Now we are getting somewhere". Well done.
