[Preliminary Thoughts: I]
There are many types of “gardens”. Gardens are designed, installed, and tended differently, but what I mean specifically is this: every garden has a different end.
It might frame the sculpture in front of you suburban home.
It may be a play area for young children in the back yard.
It may simply be drainage for the pool you recently installed.
It seems the supreme segregator of all gardens is not shape, size, or location. Instead, it’s whether they are intended to provide edible foliage.
All gardens are for consumption at one level. Some for the eyes. Others for the mouth. My garden is unapologetically for eating, and I’ve made a commitment to methodically remove any plant that doesn’t serve this purpose.
This year I’ll be reflecting on the intersections between food, gardening, and spirituality, which means I’ll be spending a lot of time sharing about my yard (and the food I grow in it!).
