Bushman in the Horrors Along a dreary, hopeless track, there is a little one-roomed house built of timber, stringy bark and floored with split wooden slabs. At the end of the house is a small bark shed, which has nothing but a few boxes of dirty crockery and a cheap oilcloth full of holes draped across a dishevelled straw mattress. Surrounding the house is ‘bush all round – bush with no horizon.’ There is no undergrowth, save for the brownish clumps of dead grass, studded alongside the dusty track
A single rose within a garden of daisies is considered a weed. That single rose can also serve a role as contributing to the beauty of the whole garden.

occurred in the garden yesterday and to be frank what I see going on in the garden this season. I own a plot under Tabetha Wilson and my own address, as does my mother Daphne Wilson under HER OWN address. My Father was my original co-gardener in the back near John Parsons and we moved to the left no-till side with my three years ago. My mother then acquired the other half of our plot but my Father remained our mutual assistant. You may have noticed we spend extensive time and the garden and are quite
For my service learning hours I worked in the Eagle Heights Hort 120 Garden with Ed to help in the gardens. My work included maintaining beds, harvesting plants, and putting the garden to rest for the long winter ahead. While in the garden I learned a great deal about the various plants that grew there, along with other similar species that were not in the garden. I was also able to learn more about the how to grow plants and put the information I was learning in class into use. I was also able to

morning, and decided to search the web for good happenings about town. First, I discovered the Homeless Garden Project. The Project was founded in 1990 with the aim of helping people who are homeless or formerly homeless transition into stable housing and work. The Project serves as a liaison to many systems of help, as well as providing several job training programs. Participants not only learn to garden on their 2.5 acre CSA farm at Natural Bridges, but also help run two businesses: a flower shop and
Use the bullshit you experience as fertilizer, and let beautiful things grow. It’s said that if you take clumps of cow manure, and carefully spread it over your flower beds, the effects on the growth of your garden is incredible. Sounds kinda gross, but it’s grossly creative if you ask me. Now, if we think about what that really means, while you’ll most likely have a crappy smelling backyard for a few days, the fact we can recycle something that’s typically seen as vile, or bad, and use it to grow
