I was blown away by Kerstin Lye’s garden in the Hurdal Ecovillage….a great example of a naturalistic polycultural mix of perennials and annuals and a great inspiration for the other ecovillagers….Kerstin has clearly worked very hard from the start in developing her garden! Thanks for showing me around!
t’s like a dream come true wandering around the Ecovillage at Hurdal with veggies everywhere!
….shame that the houses weren’t built with cellars…but the solution is to build your own root cellar…
Entering Kerstin Lye’s garden and I’m greeted by a familiar face, the climbing spinach from the Caucasus (Hablitzia tamnoides) is happy here in Hurdal..and where Habbies are Happy, I am habby too ;)
Hostas in the shade of the house!
I hadn’t expected such an abundance of vegetables, many perennials when i entered Kerstin’s garden, she had clearly devoted a lot of time to developing her own paradise, complete with a root cellar….
Malva
Allium victorialis
Ligularia fischeri (I had had seed with me when I talked in Hurdal in the winter!)
