For nine people living together in Denver, their adventure in urban homesteading is all about cooperation.
"Two years ago, it was lonely, and now I'm swept up in it. It's overwhelming, exciting," said Adam Brock, 23. "It's not just gardening but what you do the other eight months of the year."
The homesteaders moved into the big house facing City Park about two months ago. Already, they have transformed a large chunk of the big yard into gardens using tenets of permaculture, an approach to gardening that tries to mimic natural ecosystems. In addition to the usual slate of vegetables and herbs, they are growing things like Siberian pea shrub.

Thanks for posting on our house (and the awesome Denver Post article).
One of our residents, Adam Brock, is a permaculture instructor, and he is frequently hosting hands-on workshops at our house. We are always blogging about our yarden & permaculture techniques, so check it out!
