If you missed the beginning of this project, you can watch our first video of our regenerative garden reset, where we focused on observing frost damage, rebuilding soil health, and adding compost and mulch to protect the soil.

You can also watch the full Week 1 garden update on YouTube, where we document the installation of our cattle panel trellis, tomato planting, and the first signs of increased pollinator activity.
Here’s the video with the sights, sounds, and joy from our first full week restoring this urban garden:
Regenerative Lesson From Week 1
One of the most important lessons in regenerative gardening is that healthy systems grow from the ground up.
Planting tomatoes deeply encourages stronger root systems.
Installing vertical structures allows plants to access more sunlight and airflow.
Adding flowers and diverse plant species helps attract pollinators and beneficial insects.
Every step we take is designed to strengthen the entire ecosystem of the garden.
Over time, these small decisions build a garden that becomes more resilient, productive, and alive.
The abundance of joy in urban gardens
One of the most beautiful parts of gardening is that the joy it creates doesn’t stop with the person tending the plants, it naturally spreads to everyone around it.
This week we spent some time in the garden with family, sharing the simple pleasure of harvesting together. Little hands eagerly pulled watermelon radish from the soil, and fresh dill was passed around and tasted straight from the garden.
Moments like these are a reminder that gardening create connection, curiosity, and lasting memories with the people we care about.
