Water sustains all life on earth. It’s a symbol of fertility, purification and femininity, and we humans are incredibly drawn to it on levels both practical and metaphysical. This month we’re paddling slowly down a winding tree-lined creek – exploring the ways we interact with this most valuable of substances. Grab an oar and join us.
We’ve got a bunch of great stories to share, as usual. From making dyes from algae to a water garden tour of Europe, indoor plant watering tips, a floating hydroponic vegetable garden, making a native water garden in a jar and more more more.
In the meantime, here’s some wise words from Lao Tzu: “Muddy water, let stand, becomes clear.”
Yours in plants,
Georgina x
