Another things that struck home with both of us as we were sharing stories was this: we "imprinted" on nature as youngsters - for one of us that meant the laurentian forest in eastern canada (cottage and camping) and for the other, the rainforest of…
Question 4, where we explored what we, personally and actively, are doing to support our green values made me think of my lifelong desire to plant and express myself in the language and artistry of the garden, as a gardener. As a young, aspiring hor…

Looks like I may miss this one (drat, drat, drat!). I'm leaving for vacation on Jan 8.
As you know, Chris, I have been seeking meaningful dialog for some time with the desire to engage in discussion of different concepts/ideas for developing an island community that doesn't just look like continued development under another name (dens…

The next in a series of OCP Steering Committee meetings. These meetings are open the public.
Very funny. :-)
when I started as a gardener's apprentice in denmark, one of my daily jobs was to rake the pebbles in the driveway to get all the untidy tire tracks out of it (until the next car arrived!). i had a feeling it had more to do with rei…
I both lived and travelled in Europe for many years in my late teens, early 20's. It is true that many small villages is how they developed over many generations and this approach can have benefits and look charming.
