“The retreat brings people together, builds community in the forest, gets participants outside and off their screens, and uses nature sustainably to heal and inspire minds and souls,” stated Great Mountain Forest Executive Director Michael Zafros. Retreat registration closes on July 30.
Our experience of the landscape is a series of primal sensory contacts. While working around zucchini and yellow squash bushes as well as winter squashes and pumpkins, I am surprised by the fragrance surrounding their brilliant yellow trumpet flowers.
In planning the garden my emphasis is on staple crops that store without any preparation and fit into the existing storage “infrastructure.” Additional priorities include planting produce that is expensive to purchase in winter or not available organically grown.
