About Soggy Hollow House Project
In October 2014, we finalized the purchase of a small house on a fractional acre lot with the goal of providing a home for our family not only houses, but sustains and nurtures.
Soggy Hollow House Project earned its name as we quickly discovered that the property retains water, quite well, for approximately eight months out of the year, or so it seems. The "project" part of the name comes from the never-ending lists of improvements and permacultural experiments we keep dreaming up for this place.
Stay tuned as we post about our progress and offer up opportunities to attend a variety of workshops and events!

This the place just off our dining room that was merely the space between 2 houses with an uninviting concrete patio, a honeysuckle covered cedar tree, and a very mucky drainage layover for half our roof and half our neighbors roof runoff. It is currently being transformed into a private oasis where the moss grows and the light is soft and warm. This garden will also serve as an outdoor extension to our living and dining portion of the Soggy Hollow House.

The map below provides an interactive guide with all of our more permanent plantings. Click on the menu or on the individual icons, and an informational window will pop up showing the name of the plant, a photo of the species, and a link to a website where you can learn more. Included are perennials, fruit trees, vines and flowering shrubs (bee food). We will continuously update as our food forest grows! Switching out of satellite mode allows you to zoom in closer, but loses the landmarks.
