. I've been an avid reader of everything on the subject since one of the sisters brought Gaia's Garden home from the public library a few years ago. We have lots of gardens here at the monastery; landscaping to sooth pilgrim souls, vegetable to feed us and our guests... Like many monasteries today, woman/man power is the crunch and we know we aren't doing everything we should with our 220 acres, woodlands, wetlands, wildlife, goats sheep, chickens... With the sisters' encouragement I started turning the smaller enclosed area we keep for our private use into sort of a permaculture pilot program, with stone walls, piles of branches/twigs/compost, lots of fruit trees, berries, herbs, comfrey, raised beds... and then my health did a nosedive. Right now it appears I am going to live. Still, while I've been out more again this summer which is encouraging, I've just been puttering around; my indoor light garden keeps my sanity. 
around the edges!
