Earth Garden

SYMBOL OF HOPEFUL LIVING

FROM the first step into the yard you feel the world gently slow down. With phone cast aside, all notifications of an outside world are quickly muted — you’re free instead to take in the language of the garden. A cluck of a contented chicken, the soft touch of parsley gone to seed, bees dancing over ground cover blossoms and importantly — giggles of a barefoot childhood.

When you live in a time of global climate crisis you can see how a garden like this easily becomes a symbol of hopeful living. Walking amongst the sea of green, it’s here Janine and Sanj have created a multi-layered hub of biodiversity.
