What is an Urban Backyard?

• Pretty, functional– Food– Somewhere to sit

• Community space• Homeless friendly
– Discourage them from sleeping on plant beds
• Low maintenance

Surveying as Input to the Design Process
• We wanted to see what people wanted out of the GFE, or what they liked about it
• We’re designing a model permaculture backyard, but we’d like to design it in a way that our visitors would still like to visit
• A traditional charette wouldn’t work because people probably wouldn’t come - they are only visitors
![Page 12: Garden for the Environment Urban Backyard](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a14550346895da1eefb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Surveying as Input to the Design Process
• (pass around copies of survey)
• We wrote a survey; online
• We will use this feedback to modify our design if necessary, and to decide on plant selection

The Permaculture Ethics’ Influence on the Design
• People Care– This garden should be a space for people– The garden should educate people about the earth
• Earth Care– Educating people about the earth may encourage
them to start caring for the earth more
• Fair Share– The garden is for the community
