When Suthi and Sanjay Nagar moved to Austin from Pasadena, Suthi wanted more than lawn in their small front yard. New to Texas and new to gardening, she got involved with the Austin Permaculture Guild to guide her resourceful path. By stacking functions—beauty, edible, wildlife habitat, medicinal, waterwise—now their garden’s a lively spot and a friendly neighborhood connection.

Beautiful! Such an inspiration!
Awesome!! Lol get that crepe myrtle out of here!!
That's pretty neat , I like your ideas about nature and preserving habitat… myself I'm fasinated with those big ol bumblebees, I like to watch them and take pics when you can get them to stay still.
The garden is really beautiful. I like to grow very dense as well to maximize the plant space. Step stones help that you can reach the plants in the back.
What a sweet human she is! Inspirational garden for sure!!!
What class did you take, again?

Beautiful! I need help 😏 you are right cannot do it alone.
Ahhh GOALS!!!
I have a family of Bumblebees living in a wooden swing on our front porch. They moved in about 5 years ago. My wife was terrified and wanted to destroy them! I insisted we give them a chance. Well, they have been great neighbors, and we can even swing without them bothering us.
Would love to find a fountain like the one shown. Could you share where you got it?
My soul sister haha. I'm on a similar journey in the home garden!
Beautiful garden and great for our pollinator friends. The medicinal mumbo-jumbo is just silly…but it's ok.
She is so cute and full of life love her spirit
any solutions if there is a huge oak tree in front of the house? the leaves fall every year and its a chore to rake, i use it for mulch but it smothers the plants and grass below.
This is so amazing, why not all do this? I am looking into taking this classes myself. Thanks for sharing.
I am inspired to start my own journey in my front and back yards. Thanks for sharing your beautiful gardens!
