Avni's Canmore Garden

Canmore, Alberta
The pre=Permablitz briefing
A ground-breaking experience. We love stupid puns.
This is a water level. Very simple yet highly accurate device for creating perfectly level water harvesting earthworks.
The Permablitz in full swing!
The garden beds and water harvesting earthworks being created.
Birds-eye view of the project. Here you can see the swales, which are perfectly level trenches designed to store rainwater.
A sheet mulch being applied, which essentially the layering of nitrogenous and carbonaceous materials to create an living soil.
One of the many educational opportunities that happen during Permablitzes!
Another lesson on rainwater harvesting.
Edging being applied to separate the garden from the pation area.
There's something in ta Permablitz for everybody!
The swalers are filled in with a permeable material (in this case, gravel).
The finished project. The final layer of leaves in a mulch layer that functions to protect the soil until the plants take root.
A birds eye view of the finished project. All ready for planting next spring!
