Project Information

Summary:

Note to readers, attached is complete final report for FNE00-324.

I visualize and plan activities in the garden. I see it as a giant game board of sorts, a springboard, a physicality of the relationships herbs have with us and other herbs. I see myself and others walking the pathways between these relationships, dancing it, drawing it, creating an endless string of opportunities. I see each bed as a starting point that moves us to the wild plants and then as a place to return to assess what has been learned and experienced. Like all gardens, this garden has taken on a life of its own, comprised of the unique community of living organisms and spirits growing there, both plants and humans.
