Welcome to Carmona Acres! The garden and outdoor spaces on my 16-acre property…
Our outdoor spaces should receive as much attention as our indoor spaces… maybe even more!
Gardening is a passion of mine. I garden for the benefits to my physical, mental, and emotional health. Not to mention the joy of cooking with varieties of food I can’t usually find in grocery stores so easily, and knowing what went into growing my own produce!
It is my hope to turn my 16-acres into it’s own botanical garden of sorts.

The greenhouse is one of my favorite DIY projects to date! It was built using old salvaged windows, and it is a great way to grow year-round. This is where I start my seedlings, and overwinter plants…

While my goal is to turn the entire property into a botanical garden of sorts, there is one particular area where I grow fruits and vegetables… I built raised garden beds, and no-dig beds right in front of the greenhouse/shed, and this is the area where I grow food and herbs year-round!

The Potting Shed is also known as the Garden House or my She Shed and it was a huge DIY project. This serves as a lovely escape, but also an extension of the greenhouse. I pot up plants here, start seeds, and store garden tools and supplies here.
