I am a lazy gardener. Watering my landscape has little appeal; I would rather harvest, eat, and relax.

For six years we have been designing our new home and landscape. We are on the cusp of moving in and I am overjoyed to finally create a foundation for our food forest.

Dandelions are wonderful little plants. A couple times each year, they pop up in the small area of turfgrass in my yard shining as brightly as any tulip on the block.

Past generations grew much of their food to save money and increase security. While we yearn for the nostalgia of these gardens, the weeding, watering, and constant maintenance does not lend itself well to busy lives. We can lessen work and improve upon the Victory Garden model by incorporating ecological principles.

The October 30th Garden Bed Preparation workshop showed people an example of a more resilient food system.

All the classes in the Creating Abundant Landscapes series have been a joy, but the Create an Edible Landscape class was the one I looked forward to teaching the most.

The gulf oil spill is contributing to the emergence of an underlying environmental angst that we all carry within us.

Students of our first Design an Abundant Landscape class enjoyed the comfortable and open learning environment of Willowwind school as they helped envision and design its future landscape.

Participants had a great time at the March 12-14 events with Dave Jacke.

What does a local food system do for us? How does look and feel?
