You clean up the 'wildness' and make a small 'civilized' area suitable 
for her gardening pursuits.  You make small havens in the wild setting, 
places for her to read and enjoy the scenery.

Codes and zoning vary, but where I am, even if something is 'on the 
books' like a county leash law, it is not enforced.  You really 
shouldn't have any problem finding land secluded enough or zoned for 
agriculture. Codes are a bit tougher, but we can still built 
earthsheltered in my county.  However, you are still technically 
required to have a septic tank or be connected to the sewer where it is 
available.(in towns)  If where you are looking is near me, I'll find out 
what I can.  I recall from a phone conversation that we had a couple of 
years ago that you were looking here at one time..just let me know.
