It is that time of year, that special time of year for gardeners! It's that time to order seeds and plants from the gardening catalogues! Or at least peruse the beautiful photos of flowers, gardens and plants that we long to see in winter. Here is a list of catalogues from TheGardenWebsite.com. A few more will be listed in the next posting. https://www.thegardenwebsite.com/plant-seed-catalogues.html

Is it a forest or is it a garden? Actually it's both. Horticulture, agro-forestry, permaculture, forest garden - here is an example of Nature's ancient way to feed the world. Here is a National Geographic short film about a forest garden in England: "Instead of neat rows of monoculture, forest gardens combine fruit and nut trees, shrubs, herbs, vines and perennial vegetables together in one seemingly wild setting. This type of agroforestry mimics natural ecosystems and uses the space available in a sustainable way." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_m_0UPOzuI&feature=emb_logo

Take care of the plants and they will take care of you. May plants and gardens bring well-being to your part of the world this year!
