Garden Development

In 2013, a 15’ x 25’ fenced garden area was shared by the Terrell House residents and a few neighbors. A pollinator garden was also planted which attracted bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. In 2014, the first phase of a much larger gardening space was initiated. The new garden was built according to permaculture design principles.
