Imagine your Garden

Cultivate the earth and our connection within it

Greet the sun

Feed the soil, let it breathe

Welcome the earthworms

Thanks busy soil organisms hard work

Compost

Practice non-agression

What works in the garden may work in the world one day

Bless the seed you sow

Observe weather

Welcome the gifts of the seansons

Weed early and often

Leave wild spaces

Mulch

Buy local food

Recycle

Feel your whole body

Know the cicles of the moon

Keep a garden journal

Explore companion planting flowers and fruits

Welcome beneficial insects

Discourage foes

Don't use chemical herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers

Dance in the fields

Learn and teach

Save seeds

Tell stories

Look at the stars

Rotate crops

Rest the earth

Observe, adapt, enrich, sustain, preserve

Savor the abundance

Share the harvest

Give thanks
