The Fox and Lizard - a water wise English cottage garden
This was a transformation of two front yards of a duplex. The story started like many, with a lawn. From there, it became magnificent!!
In June of 2015 we did our first earthworks workshop, followed by the second one a month later. Both yards were sheet mulched next. Then planted in the fall, before the start of the rainy season.
The results are magnificent!!
First there was a lawn, two lawns

Sheet mulching creates the conditions for the lawn to die
