I want to teach my two sons where real food comes from. Facebook. Sagolik trädgård med lekfulla rum och magisk pergola.

Och jag tycker om att krypa med näsan bland doftande grönska – då förnimmer man livet intensivt och det får mig att må bra, säger hon. Runt millennieskiftet, när Titte hade många intensiva arbetsår som filmregissör bakom sig, gick hon in i den berömda väggen. – Jag blev ordentligt utbränd, och drog mig tillbaka här. Så småningom märkte jag att jag mådde bra av att sätta händerna i jorden. . – Jag började så smått med ett grönsaksland. På den vägen är det. (3) Gardeners World 2019 episode 15.

The Algarden Urban Farm + Demonstration Garden

Walking down the street and spotting an empty lot of weeds, Patricia saw nothing but potential, especially when she meet Giancarlo Muscardini, the site neighbor and permaculture expert. This project has been a full collaboration with Giancarlo Muscardini and Patricia Algara. In the last four years, this vacant lot has been transformed into a vibrant foodscape with two thriving bee hives, mushroom towers, and fruit trees. The garden also serves as a base for teaching permaculture classes, and has been used to host seasonal harvest lunches. Patricia popularized the word Foodscaping to describe the art of combining landscape architecture with agriculture. The Algarden is part of a much greater fabric of values: localizing food production, cultivating a closer connection to our environment through the food that we eat, and teaching folks about permaculture and organic farming methods.

There's a problem with school gardens, in that it's really hard to be sustainable.

During the summer, there's no one there to take care of the school garden. And they don't really have the scale to create a system where they could feed the cafeteria. So, what makes our model unique and, ultimately, sustainable is that we market our produce. And our flowers! We do life-science lessons with them, and plant biology lessons. My kids are picky eaters.
