I enjoy gardening, but it's more than that. It's a lifestyle.  Taking life slower and living in relationship with our earth and it's creatures. Listening deeply and paying attention to what the plants and animals need. I prefer the old ways of living. It's in my blood to work the soil. My great-grandmother grew all the food for 13 children on a farm in Ohio.

I grew up scavenging through barns full of old parts, with my father, to repair broken tubs, faucets, floors, cabinets, you name it, my dad fixed it for his customers. I ran through orchards and ate fruit until I was full and satisfied.   I spent my childhood in the woods hunting morel mushrooms.

I can't imagine not caring about the earth, not recycling, not working with my hands. It simply does not compute.

I hope you can see my passions for living sustainably in reverence for our precious earth and take a piece/idea of it with you to carry out in your own home.
