I am going to try to maintain the habit of a daily walk in the garden for two purposes; to observe closely and get to know the garden and to still my mind and connect with nature. Every time I walk in the garden I see something new and find a new plant I didn’t know was there. Soon I will know the garden well and it will become clearer what I can do with the different areas. I remember the permaculture ‘rules’; to observe intensely and often, to make small changes, to work with rather than against nature and to create a garden which is sustainable and easy to manage.
