Copa Good Life

Attractive front garden and verge, featuring Corten steel and stone edge raised beds producing vegetables, herbs and beneficial plantings. The area includes clever gabion walled seating around a firepit and a protected outside eating area. Great example of a garden growing despite the elements, particularly salt and wind off the ocean. The backyard includes chooks, multiple raised no dig beds plus citrus and espaliered fig. My main design plan has been to follow the sun, have no lawn maintenance and to use no-dig raised beds. I have chook runs in the shaded areas and am gradually adding to the food forest in that area with shade tolerant plants. I recently installed compost bays and bins to reduce the need for bringing in compost from external sources. The back garden is still a work in progress but its producing well.

Safety

Front yard is accessible from the road and a small step up, but the back garden is sloped and the pathways are uneven.
