Regenerative Landscape: Plants with Benefits<\/h2>\r\nRegenerate <\/b>(to renew\/restore\/respect)\r\n\r\nKeywords<\/strong>: food security, community, Indigenous (native) plants, invasive species,\r\n\r\nLet's take another look at the base plan for the regenerative landscape for reference on the topic of plants with benefits. During this phase of construction, the forested border has been left untouched to provide wildlife habitat and encourage native plants.\r\n\r\nThe residents chose to install large raised vegetable beds for the family to produce food on-site. This not only enhances food security for the family but also for the surrounding community (due to prolific zucchini and tomato production) by reducing carbon emissions from the transportation of food over long distances. As a result, the local community can gather and share in the locally produced food, which promotes social relationships and strengthens the community ecosystem.\r\n

Another feature to showcase at this stage of construction is the informal and natural forested border between the back garden and the city park neighbouring the residential lot.\u00a0 When the homeowners first moved in, the border area and slope into the park were covered with invasive species. The homeowners were shocked to find some of the worst invasive species, including Fallopia japonica <\/em>(Japanese Knotweed), Daphne laureola\u00a0<\/em>(Daphne),\u00a0Rubus armeniacus <\/i>(Himalayan blackberry), <\/i>Ipomoea purpurea<\/em> (morning glory), Lamium maculatum (spotted dead nettle) <\/em>and Hedera helix <\/em>(English ivy). As a result, the residents of the landscape took action to safely remove the invasive species along the slope leading into the forested parkland. \r\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n
