"Sponsored" Plantings - Sustaining the Community

One of the Artists-in-Residence this season shared with me some thoughts about perpetuating the bounty of the garden beyond this year and beyond that. Sounds good to me, here's the thought:

He wants to "sponsor" the planting of 10 strawberry plants and the reasonable cost of their annual care -- about $50 -- plants that will produce for familes to come; in exchange for 10 baskets of strawberries as his sustenence-investment "interest". Something between Heifer International and carbon credits!

I love the idea of planting the seeds and food of the future, and the sense of community our shared "investment" will drive. And, on a less grand scale, I like it that you folks, to some degree, could focus in on foods you want but can't grow/get and I'd get to try some thing I wouldn't already have tried.

Let me know what your interested in seeing planted; on your behalf, for many.

Thinking about Chemicals and Health

I don't want to be a freak about WHAT it is that will kill me/us -- certainly SOMETHING will, but the more I learn about especially the fast growing area of auto-immune illnesses, the more I balk at chemicals... Just 'cause your paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you...

Every Moment is a Memory in the Making - you just never know WHEN

The 10th Annual Spring Party was a wonderful time of re-connection.

And, as always, tn
he perspective shift: fake cakes or real ones ...

Interesting Feedback I've received on Creating and Environment for Cerativity...

Some comments on setting the scene for creativity: I welcome your thoughts on how to open the creative flow...

No mirrors - especially not want to look at "self".

Foot stools - Something about raising the feet allows the thoughts to flow.

How Fast They Come & Go

I got a time-lapse camera for the garden... This iris - an amazing yellow - opened over 6 hours, from tight bud to done.

Philadelphia's Magic Gardens

This space, Phliadelphia's Magic Gardens is beyond amazing, and probes deeply the space and connection between madness, selfishness and art. I loved it!
