We have a small home garden in the centre of Gatehouse of Fleet. Only a few seconds walk away from the bus stop for the bus that goes between Stranraer and Dumfries.
We did a thorough permaculture design for the garden which started with a year's observation - the recording of which you can see here:
Observation Garden design for Alderslowe garden - Google Docs
We created an overview design for the full garden:

Other smaller designs have happened in the garden including of the composting system, the pond, and various workshops. Each year we host the Permaculture Design Course for Dumfries & Galloway here, for one of the modules.
What we got: 5 chickens, a small dog, apple trees, plum, pear, cherry (not edible but mature), hedges, mill lade, alder, broom, nettles, lots of wild birds, compost, Hugel beds, pond, campfire, hammock, comfrey, rasps, currants, gooseberries, day lilies, and lots more including all sorts of plants I didn't plant!!!
I love teaching permaculture so I'm often away for weeks at a time and so the garden is ably neglected a lot, so it's low maintenance. I get involved in all sorts of projects including children's permaculture, forest schools, outdoor maths (reaching 5000 children in 2024!), queer permaculture, food education, Propagate, and more...
