Update to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Permaculture/comments/1m294xf/i_have_a_chance_to_do_something_very_fun_hoa_here/
I got in touch with a local permaculture landscape designer and did a walkthrough of the property. We settled on a direction and some next steps.
The idea is to use syntropic agroforestry to transform a grassy fairly neglected part of the property into a food producing machine. About 12 trees worth we figure.
We’re going to remove all of the boxwood, ivy, and hostile landscape designed in 1990 to keep everything separated and enclosed. All shrubs will be replaced with berry bushes, and a 100 yard long south facing steel fencing will be free trellis space.
We have large spaces between buildings that’s now just covered in wood chips, they’re getting winecap inoculation.
Secondary goal is to create a public facing grazing garden in the front on a very busy street to reach out to the community and plant the seeds that anyone can do this. Ambition at this point but worth the energy.
If yall are interested, I can start taking some photos and sharing more.
