Turning an existing urban garden into a regenerative food sysem (zone10A)
Over 12 weeks, our goal is to restore and optimize an existing urban garden in Dr. Phillips, Florida, to increase food production, improve soil protection, and enhance pollinator activity using regenerative practices in zone 10A.
After unexpected frost damage in zone 10A, we’re taking this as a reset moment by observing what survived and learning how to design a more resilient system.
With the beds cleared, we’re starting fresh by rebuilding soil health and planning layered companion plantings for long-term regeneration.
We wanted to go into this project intentionally. We're adding pollinator plants to increase pollinator activity and biodiversity and choosing crops that support the existing ecosystem instead of fighting it.
This reset begins beneath the surface. 900 lbs of compost has been added to the garden beds and surrounding container plants to support beneficial microbes, nutrient cycling, and a thriving ecosystem.
