An enclosed space dominated by a grand, elderly Apricot tree, which nestles the chook house in its branches. The yard is flanked by a no-dig boxed bed filled with Jerusalem Artichokes, dormant and edible in winter, but growing like bright sunflowers against the shed wall in spring and summer. Geraniums and Chile Guava add colour to the front of the yard, while zucchini leaves are lily pads the chooks can dart under in their quest for bugs. A wormwood shrub is medicinal, but also adds a smokey, sage green to the garden’s palette.
