dhijana and Borys Scott-Harmony created a bit of paradise right in the middle of Charlotte's Starmount Neighborhood, providing delicious, sustainably grown food grown with love. Harmony Gardens is a 1/2 acre wildlife habitat and urban homestead demonstration project of sustainability in the city. Instead of growing a lawn, Borys and dhijana are creating a balanced ecosystem with 3 ponds with water

falls, an orchard, two small chicken houses with yards (currently without chickens) plus a mushroom house, multiple terraces, raised bed boxes and tables, 5 small green houses and 2 hoop houses (one 600 sq.ft., the other 80 sf.) Much of this was built re-using, recycling and re-purposing found, scrapyard and donated materials. We produce plenty of delicious and unusual fruits, vegetables, and herbs (using organic methods) year around for ourselves and for our customers at the Atherton Market in South End. Tours are available by appointment for those who want to learn more (usually one hour per tour). We do charge a small fee ($5 per person) for the tours.

In case you were wondering- Casa Harmony is flourishing here in Spain. It is the new version of Harmony Gardens which we left behind four years ago. We started with an empty palate- land growing horrific w**d grass with roots going to China it seemed, an empty non funcioning swimming pool and a home in need of a lot of TLC. This is how it looks now, four years later.

The Benefits of Bitters

our super salad mix was full of these greens. I don't know if Jonathan has continued to sell the product, but if he has here is the justification as to why it is an important part of your diet.

Bitter flavors are perhaps the least appreciated and sought-after, yet bitter herbs and spices offer valuable benefits and can go a long way toward improving your overall health. Historically, bitter herbs have been primarily used as cleansing agents, vitality builders and digestive support.

Our Story

Harmony Gardens is a 1/2 acre wildlife habitat and urban homestead demonstration project of sustainability in the city. Instead of growing a lawn, Borys and dhijana created a balanced ecosystem with 3 ponds with waterfalls, an orchard, two small chicken houses with yards (currently without chickens) plus a mushroom house, multiple terraces, raised bed boxes and tables, 5 small green houses and 2 hoop houses (one 600 sq.ft., the other 80 sf.) all with water and electricity, a rain water catchment system and so much more. Much of this was built re-using, recycling and re-purposing found, scrapyard and donated materials. We produced plenty of delicious and unusual fruits, vegetables, and herbs (using organic methods) year around for ourselves and for our customers at the Atherton Market in South End. In 2016 we retired from this challenging project to move to Spain and be grandparents to our two young nietos. Here in Spain we have recreated much of our project from the US in a much smaller way to provide food for ourselves, our family and our neighbors. We are now known as Casa Harmony.
