This episode visits a tranquil private garden shaped around self-sufficiency, care, and thoughtful design. Irene Chen explores the space with Mr. Chow, where a living pond supports edible fish and plays an essential role in the garden’s ecosystem. As they walk through the garden, conversations unfold around soil types, plant health, composting practices, and maintaining balance between growth and restraint. The tour highlights how daily attention and simple systems can turn a garden into a reliable source of nourishment, calm, and connection—especially during times when self-reliance matters most.
