Imagine your garden
cultivate the earth and our connection with it
greet the sun
feed the soil *let it breathe* welcome earthworms
thank busy soil organisms hard work
compost
cherish the treasure of stones and bones
and broken china
practice non-aggression
what works in the garden
may work in the world one day
bless the seed you sow * observe weather
welcome the gifts of the seasons
weed early and often * leave wild spaces
feel your whole body
know the cycles of the moon
keep a garden journal * charm fairies
explore companion planting
flowers & herbs love fruits & veggies
welcome beneficial insects * discourage foes
work in harmony with nature
don't use chemical herbicides,
pesticides or fertilizers
take pleasure in your garden as a gift to the birds,
the bees, and the children
dance in the fields * teach and learn
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
