Garden Plans > 2016: Sifs Demonstration Garden

About this Garden Plan
This is our production garden that we use to feed our family. All greenhouses are used in the spring for our selling season, and are then converted to growing our own goodies once all the stock is gone. The #4 and #5 greenhouses aren't shown in the correct locations as they are spread out over the property and difficult to include in this plan. Also not included is the orchard, vineyard, and the pea and raspberry rows.
