- I’m an Historical Landscape Architect with a dream to create a Blue Zone lifestyle on our suburban lot. In my work, I document historic and cultural heritage sites (how we live in relationship with the land). Blue Zones are places with the highest rates of longevity in the world, based in a way of life. I think we can learn from that holistic approach to health in our modern society.
This video shows how we are transforming our suburban backyard filled with compacted clay and bermuda grass into a beautiful garden and my journey growing food for our family. This is the story behind the Backyard Blue Zone channel. - Zábava
Inspiring! I wish you could help me with the big picture plan for my place. I really LOVE the children's garden placed in the middle of it all, and how you include them. Where I live everything has to be protected from deer, gophers, birds, wind, insects, even the sun sometimes. I love the openness of your gardens, all in-ground, without fencing, mesh, covers, nets. It's lovely. Truly lovely.
I started gardening about a two decades ago and did it for grief therapy that my doctor suggested. I was in my forties. NO idea how. Then I learned to preserve. All this and working at a law firm with an hour commute both ways. I didn't have children underfoot but did have dogs. One took the first melon ha ha. Now I live off grid and retired five years and grow on a hillside. I don't draw anything our like you but have learned the land here and put in grapes and berries and asparagus etc and then last September hubs bought six more acres, two open four wooded and we planted 14 fruit trees. Goal is to live to be an older woman and have fruit. God bless
lovely!
Ditto!
I hope you are not in Oregon and now Maine, where individual family growing areas are being shut down. I definitely think you are on to something important for the future. God bless you and your family.
After growing my own strawberries and blueberries, the ones in the stores taste like water down/ lack of flavor to me 🤔🤔
Where is your dress/skirt from??
@@BlueZoneHome The beginning! It is like a white underskirt with a dress/flowy shirt!
The skirt I thrifted locally from a vintage shop and the flowy shirt was a birthday gift. The label on it says See You Monday! Hope that helps!
