...a place that serves as an art project, an organic produce market, a spiritual practice, a pharmacy.
It offers ongoing lessons in ecology, biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology...

Gardening is creativity on a grand Utopian scale. We consult a nonexistent compass and so set off on a journey to Eden, which actually ends when we encounter a sense of place.
(Excerpts from Why We Garden: Cultivating a Sense of Place by Jim Nollman 1994)
