PARTnering with Nature
Our gardens, parks and farms reflect our relationships with nature. Are they places humming with life, or not? Imagine gardens where humans play a role not as a dominating force, nor as passive observers, but as a key part of nature. Clearly, humans have an immense impact on the places around us. Understand your power, and tap into the immense joy of giving back to nature.
“We need to shift away from a detached, exploitive relationship with nature toward one that is close, protective, and regenerative.” -Dr. Suzanne Simard, author of Finding the Mother Tree
