I find myself inspired and blessed in the garden I am creating. I went through early one morning to water and took this photo…. Note the position of the pipe and the area on top of the couch.
Here is a close up of above the couch. I have considered the gap, and looked at previous shots of this area a few times.
This is a shot of a close up of the same area above the couch, at a slightly different angle, a split second later 
Do you see what I see? I still see the gap as in the image above.
Now, this is not something spectacular like this image…
BUT …
THIS GARDEN IS BLESSED and I hope it will be a blessing to many <3
The first Seed Swopping event was held on the 16/05/2015. A big thankyou to ALL who attended <3 <3 <3
I must admit I cannot afford much advertising, nor the time and energy to create much more than I have been before. Please assist with sharing my posts or liking my page on facebook.
I am learning the different perceptions many have about value and what it is based upon. Most of us do things for the financial remuneration for those we do not know. When it comes to doing things with love, we do things for family, friends, partners…. I think if the value system or perception that value is money changes, we can have community and organic non GMO food everyday no matter how much money we have. I see how we put some kind of financial value on people, whereas it is worth about R4000 a month for me to tolerate disrespect of my space or mindset or spirit. It should be a human right to grow food, to be self sustainable, yet in some countries rates and taxes go up because people grow tomatoes on their pavements. Ive also learnt that the human capacity I have far out weighs the human ability I have, which makes it virtually impossible to ever exert all my energy in an exchange that is equal to the value of what combined perceptions have given to the way of life I would like to create … it includes underfloor heating It has been a sad crossing over from doing more trading for space than paying a currency for space.
Anyway, the point is that this idea to gather people from the area to meet with people all over Johannesburg who want to eat a variety of organic veg for health and longevity, people who want exposure for their businesses to raise the value of what they do in this world, people who want to assist in rehabilitating the land and river…. I am hoping this will result in getting the composting and the garden complete, eventually having the rugby games and all events at the club flowing into a space of love where exchanges, laughter, growth and sustainability are the results.
I called it a Seedy Saturday, offering a Tisane Tasting from 4 – 5pm. My idea here is to blindfold you, to have you smell herbs in their plant form, feel the plant, breathe it in. To taste a warm version of the infusion and a cold version of it. To discuss and reveal the plant. Thereafter to exchange information about what and who everyone is, and to trade either goods for goods, goods for goods and cash or goods for goods and talents. I would love to get some plants, soil and things to use in the Pirates garden Im doing to grow my business. I do not mind exchanging some harvest for these things, or teaching or sharing my knowledge (afterall it is on every packet of tea or tisane (infusions of dried leaves) I sell.
We had a wonderful time do join in Greensiders and Parkhursters
