Abundant Garden Food Forest
We feed the earth and it feeds us. We clear the land and build structures. Time passes, change and decay occur; nature returns. Creative reuse of old materials completes the cycle, saving energy and reducing waste.Abundant Nature provides food and forage for humans and wildlife in a natural system that is easy care and self-supporting. It reflects the canopy layers found in the forest, and weaves urban objects into a magical setting.
Welcome the fairies and nature spirits that celebrate their partnership with people sharing mutual respect. The impermanence of our activities results in an imperfect beauty. That is nature!
The talk of the town
Lovers of sustainable and organic gardening and fans of edible gardens have been talking and writing about our garden, Abundant Nature: An Enchanted Food Forest, for some time now.
Below are three reviews of the garden. The first is written by Jeanne DeBenedetti Keyes for The Rainy Side Gardener Blog. The second is published on Plant Talk the blog of garden writer Valerie Easton. Last is by Jennifer Davis from the Rainy Day Gardener Blog talking about her favorite parts of the show. Take a few minutes to read one or all of them. You won’t regret it.
