This blog takes the form of a diary that reports on the development of our new garden in Midlothian, Virginia. Using text and images, we hope readers will follow us as we attempt to heal one patch of land rather than depleting it. Working from principals that are less doctrinaire than practical, our aim is to show how small efforts can have a big impact on combating climate change, and return us to the kinds of solutions our forebears practiced out of necessity. Doing the right thing by the climate has never been more urgent, or necessary. While little will happen until governments are forced to listen to the silent majority who acknowledge the existential threat of climate change, raising awareness of what we can do on a local level, in our own back yards, has never been more important.
