Connect with much of this! Your artists, ideas & discussion group sounds fabulous! Food forests have been dwelling in my mind for years as something I'd like to do...now I'm heading back to land again the desire to plant and grow is strong... instinct to root myself with place again maybe.

Thank you for your response and resonance. I wonder where you will be stewarding that land? Whatever and wherever you choose I know you will be contributing to this Earth and that can only be good!

I love all of this. A big yes to self-directed residencies! I planted a small fruit tree orchard last year and have just ordered more apple trees for delivery next spring. I hope we stay in this house long enough to see them mature and for me to try my hand at cider making. The concept of a Food Forest is something I’m seeing all over instagram at the moment and I’m intrigued—I must do more research. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your beautiful life.

Thank you- it’s wonderful how we resonate so much. I think art making and growing a garden go hand in hand together. Here’s to the beauty of the hope involved in planting trees and sowing seeds. X
