Question 1

What is a mandala garden?

Accepted Answer

It is a circular garden that is beautiful to view as well as being a high yield system.
Our mandala consists of a pond and perennial plants at its centre, surrounded by 6 circular beds growing annual vegetables and a large perimeter ring planted with perennials to control pests and attract beneficial insects.

Question 2

What is a food forest?

A food forest mimics ecosystems and patterns found in nature with multiple vertical layers of edible trees and plants growing together.

Question 3

What is an eco pond?

Accepted Answer

It is a pond that contains living organisms such as plants, animals and microbes as well as non-living parts such as rocks, gravel, water and soil. Ideally these components interact with each other to create their own ecosystem and thus an environment of peace and tranquility as found in nature.

Question 4

What is Zone 5 (area of regeneration)?
