We are in the second season of a three year project with Legacy Charter Schools’ Bioswale. This charter school is located on the West Side of Chicago in the North Lawndale neighborhood. When we first started it was overgrown with natives that did not play well together. There was a lack of color and the original design was lost. Looking forward to the third season in 2026.

This amazing landscape company is so busy taking care of everyone else’s yards that they asked for assistance with their headquarters! The gardens outside are all created using the permaculture edible landscapes using forest garden design. Forest Gardens in the temperate climate in Chicago have 8 layers – Overstory trees, Understory trees, Shrubs, Vines, Groundcovers, Root crops, Grasses, Perennials. The design strived to have everything edible by humans or for other creatures and pollinators.
