The Sims ecoscape is the newest in a series of groundbreaking public greenspace projects I have been fortunate to work on with the Southern Environmental Center. This garden is spread across 5 adjacent lots in the edgewood community of Homewood. Once belonging to Catherine Sims who deeded the property to Homewood with the stipulation it be used for educational & botanical ends, this is now an outdoor classroom with edible landscaping, rain gardens, plant propagation beds, compost demonstration area, green roof and rainwater harvesting system, native plants and many other features. Stop by to see whats blooming, Catherine would have wanted it to be enjoyed by as many folks as possible. Visit www.myecoscapes.org for more info on this and other works.
