Hanging out is what Be Here Now is for. Plants are the best hang-outers of all time so we brought them together to pump up the party.
If you stumble onto the BHN patio while looking for the bathroom this summer you’ll find yourself at the threshold of Muncie Permaculture Initiative’s newest project. Magnanimous proprietor Whitney Lewis invited PI to design a super cool hippy garden to energize the BHN outdoor concert space.
Check it out.
Below are some establishing visuals of the space we are working with. It’s a pretty large area with a stage in the Northeast corner and a bar in the Southwest corner. See if for yourself at Be Here Now, right around the corner from Greek’s Pizza in the village.

As you can see, we have SO much space for activities! Some possibilities we have discussed: 1) A hanging hop garden 2) Vertical growing divider wall 3) Elevated PVC rain garden 4) Laying to rest some very tired, deserving apple trees 5) Others??
Important first step: measure for accuracy!
Elevated PVC pipe garden lining the east wall. The pipes are cut open on top and filled with a soil mixture and rocks.
A liner is placed in the bottom of the PVC pipes to give more stability. Burlap: fibrous material that will help retain moisture

Permies hard at work
The PVC garden is the only thing up so far, but Spring is upon us – the permaculture work season is about to get serious! Contact us if you want to be a part of our awesome projects!
