Down the garden path
Gardening is an obsession for me and provides my family with fuit and vegetables and my business with organic herbs. The rewards of gardening are a many; the awe at a new shoot from a bulb that has slept, without water, all summer and then miraculously reappeared fresh and green, the heady scent of jasmine, and delight in the antics of the honey eaters. All aspects of life evolve in a garden and here we can learn patience, nuturing and thankfullness as well as frustration and dissapointment!
I love the soil and getting down and dirty in the garden but I tend to be a lazy gardener. Permaculture, a sustainable system for agriculture, developed by Bill Mollison in the seventies, has always been a big inspiration to me and is well suited to my own nature. More recently I have explored and used the Bio Dynamic soil preparations which involve a bit more witchery. But then, gardens are magic after all, aren't they?
