Incredible and breathtaking. I spent years building something similar to this concept in my front yard in Oklahoma; focusing mainly on native species. A mixture of trees, shrubs, flowers that attract the birds and bees etc, plus a healthy amount of herbs and vegetables, with lots of layers to catch leaves, runoff and all the good stuff. We had cattle and horses that provided tons of manure to wheelbarrow in and i handshoveled out tons of compost. There were years that things flourished and not so good years but just to see the growth was comforting and inspiring. I have always hoped, wished and dreamed that every front and back yard in these United States were planted in these ways... It would help alot on our global warming. No more noisy mowers, weed eaters or blowers. Truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing this story. And blessings for people like Allen, job well done, may you rest in peace.
