The goal of life is living in agreement with nature. --Zeno 335BC
We are here in this time to garden planet earth. We have such a rich, beautiful planet here that we all share. We know now that small scale organic, labor intensive, and permaculture techniques of food growing are practical for the whole world.
So if we are willing to pay a lot more people more to grow our food, or if we are willing to do some of the gardening ourselves, we would go a long way toward a non polluting, truly sustainable world. And the people reporting the highest levels of happiness at work are...Gardeners! And the most popular hobby in the US is...gardening!
How can we make it easy for people everywhere, every day, to do a little gardening?
(Self watering planter set ups:)
Almost everywhere people are found, there are surely tiny niches for a little pot here, a raised bed there, a backyard plot? (creative places for growing things:)
What a delightful way to save the environment that is our our common inheritance. Just go play outside in the dirt? Or have a little herb pot in the window? What fun!
Anyone can have dirt. Gardeners have soil. --Unknown
