Garden the Way Nature Intended

Permaculture, food forests, and natural growing systems for every backyard

Pull up a chair. There’s something worth talking about.

You don’t need a degree in horticulture to grow good food or a beautiful garden. You just need a little patience, a willingness to get your hands dirty, and someone who’s been down this path before to point out where the rabbit holes are.

That’s what My Garden Green is about.

Gardening the way it used to be done

Before raised beds came with instruction manuals and “companion planting” was a Pinterest trend, people just watched. They watched what grew next to what. They noticed which plants kept the bugs away, which ones fed the soil, and which ones fed the family. They learned from doing, from failing, and from the person standing next to them in the garden.

That’s the spirit here. Less science class, more back porch conversation.

What you’ll find here

Whether you’re pulling weeds for the first time or you’ve been at it for years and want to go deeper — into permaculture, food forests, Hügelkultur, companion planting — there’s something here for you. We grow food. We build soil. We work with nature instead of wrestling it into submission.

New articles go up three times a week. Some practical, some philosophical, all written like we’re standing in the garden together figuring it out.

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago.

The second best time is right now. Dig in.
