A back story of how Regenerative Retrofits came to be.

05/05/2026

May the Fourth be with us & another project in the books to start the year. This client wanted to redesign a backyard space overrun with vines and weedy plants in precious real estate. We had a smaller budget and made a huge impact of the area building a beautiful hügelkultur raised bed pollinator garden. Clearing the site, then doing a sheet mulching technique to suppress the vegetation from below and using some home-grown compost from the bins onsite. The bees and bugs were buzzing after these perennial pollinator plants were getting watered in. It was a glorious day in the dirt, making spaces beautiful for the world.

Regenerative Retrofits first big project of the year is kicking off the spring right. This client has a garden space in another area that was too wet, too shaded and not a lot of happy plants growing because of it. We have been working together to plan out the best design for years to come.

This hillside is steep! It is also in full sun and we moved a lot of dirt and rocks to magically build these raised beds into a terraced planting area. Sometimes you have to dig down to build up and there are going to be some pretty happy veggies going in next month!

It's not always about the rocks and limitations of a space that create the cage to stop you from achieving your dreams...it's how you use those limiting factors and abundant yields of obstacles to navigate your direction to grow beyond their abilities to hold you back. Let that sink in and reframe your vision so you rise beyond the restrictions and start building up in this world together!

Here's to the 2026 Growing Season!

Spring Work Inspiration

Had the opportunity to build a pretty sweet industrial style railing around a staircase with a natural flare. Using rebar for the uprights and a Sapele hardwood as the top finish. I'd say it turned out pretty sweet and a nice oil really made that African wood pop!

Regenerative Retrofits is getting excited in preperation to teach an online Greenhouse Design Workshop. It is being taught through one of my favorite schools, right here in
Vermont. Yestermorrow Design/Build School has been a catalyst in pushing me to achieve some big goals in my life. From designing and building my first home. Learning to shape and build with stone with Thea Alvin and getting my hands involved in a Timber Frame build last year. It's been a wonderful resource to have locally.
Teaching this course was something I aspired to do from the moment I stepped foot on the campus 5years ago. With the knowledge gained over the past few years and the community I've been building in this mighty little state. 2025 is the perfect year to be doing it, and I am excited to share it with those interested.

This course is for folks interested in all kinds of greenhouses, from the apartment patio grower to the homesteading seed starter, to those wanting a seasonal extender space and those looking for a year round growing environment. In this course we will be starting from the ground up, discussing the....

At Regenerative Retrofits we are learning the desire for humans to reconnect with the natural world, is growing stronger than ever. Some of the ways people have been doing this with our help is designing and creating outdoor showering spaces. Leaning in closer to the Earth can sometimes be dirty, filled with fun and with the need to wash off under the stars. Surrounded by trees and open air, birds flying overhead and the occasional chipmunk in awe of the beauty. Humans are embracing the ways of living a life of luxury and living a life of love for living, a life with Earth and not against it.

Here are a couple of the outdoor showers we've built this year. Both using mostly repurposed materials that were laying around, materials found onsite that took no added carbon of transportation or manufacturing and processing. Water from the site, giving back to the site. Water not pumped out of the area to water treatment plants full of chemicals that need filtering before use again. This water is used and filtered by the perennial ecosystem. One that holds the connection to the experience that comes when you bare it all to embracing the outdoors. Get Outside, Shower Naked!
