Sustainable Garden inspires with fascinating features this Spring

Nestled within the heart of Hamilton Gardens lies a showcase of how an ordinary backyard can evolve into a thriving, edible haven providing organic produce all year round. From comprehensive composting systems to mobile chicken coops, get ready to uncover how this garden embodies sustainable living.

Permaculture principles

At the core of this garden's philosophy lie the principles of permaculture, highlighting the connection of all living beings. Here, the ecosystem thrives without the need for harmful pesticides or fungicides, mimicking the harmony found in natural wild ecosystems.

Comprehensive composting

The Sustainable Backyard features a closed-loop philosophy in action through our comprehensive composting system. Compost bins, liquid manure barrels, and a thriving worm farm breathe life into the garden. Organic waste is transformed into nutrient-rich compost, continuing a cycle where waste becomes a valuable resource for growth and nourishment.

Mobile chicken coop

An innovative in this garden is our mobile chicken coop. This versatile coop can be easily relocated to recently harvested areas. The chickens play a key role - clearing, tilling, and fertilizing the soil before replanting. The raised vegetable beds seamlessly accommodate the coop, allowing for a harmonious cycle of gardening and nurturing.

Feathered friends

While in the Sustainable Garden keep an eye out for the garden residents - the chickens! These free-spirited wanderers often meander through the gardens, contributing their own unique touch to the ecosystem. Their presence adds a delightful charm to the garden, symbolizing the essence of natural coexistence.
