On this page I will be sharing my thoughts on ecology-based gardening. Included will be writings on how thoughtful gardeners can help reverse the damage to ecosystems and mitigate the impact of climate change and still enjoy the pleasures, insights and sustenance gardening can bring. In addition to my own thoughts, I intend to feature the good work of others - excellent new books, innovative programs, conferences and tours. I also intend to mention developments in getting kids out of the classroom for serious, heartfelt experiences with nature – what needs to be done and what is actually happening in response to this concern.
