Introduction	So why garden and what does that mean anyway? For me, garden means to cultivate and as such, extends way beyond fingers rutting around in the earth - delightful as that is. It means extending oneself out into a larger reality, a community of choice. To garden then is a means to meet-and-greet, to find a network of friends, like-minded individuals and those who will challenge, to find a place of peace and regeneration. Ok, it also means rutting around in the earth, celebrating weeds (ummm) and watching as the results of joyous efforts shape and reshape the context of home. I find my home here in this garden - this place, this community of Almonte, Ontario. It nurtures me when the dross of the day overwhelms, as it must sometimes. It inspires me when I'm looking for a new direction - or maybe just a need to re-frame a current one. Enjoy this garden with me.
