Learning to garden with nature takes
A leap of faith
Letting go of control
Trust in the wisdom of plants
A journey to new ways of being, knowing and doing
When the earth was our garden, we revered nature
We knew each plants' gifts and myths
We foraged and farmed in harmony with natural habitats
We can again learn to grow and harvest this way
Connecting deeply with all life
Observing and not interfering
Learning to garden this way, by allowing, is a healing processes
As we nurture country, she nurtures us.
Wild edible gardens are peaceful, abundant habitats that connect us to an ancient way of being, in harmony with nature’s rhythms.
The role of the gardener is one of intuition, reflection and nurturing, with moments given to tending here and there.
All types of plants grow happily together, fruit trees, berries, herbs, flowers, vines, vegetables, natives and 'weeds'.
They are spaces to gather, connect, and reflect.
“The real path to natural farming requires that a person know what unaltered nature is, so that he or she can instinctively understand what needs to be done – and what must not be done – to work in harmony with its processes.”
