This video is about a garden I started in Preston Hollow, NY after reading Masonobu Fukuoka’s “One-Straw Revolution” and applying those theories and practices to vegetable gardening. To view part 2, please follow this linnk: www.youtube.com I grew fresh vegetables for a small CSA (Community Shared Agriculture) , local markets and my friends and family. Much of my gardening practice coincides with the principles of permaculture. No-till farming creates permanent planting areas, in this way, one can incorporate perennial growing alongside the annuals. Artistically, I was inspired by Carl Sagan’s Cosmos and the work of David Attenborough, which I grew up adoring as a child. I find it ironic how modern media was one of the original gateways to my increasing curiosity about nature, though perhaps this is what I hope to mimic by putting together my personal story with this garden. I hope to continue learning from nature for years to come… and hopefully inspire others to do so themselves. Resistance is fertile, folks! Oh yeah… and check out my website: www.collectedseed.com
