Permaculture Wall Paper & Guilds at a Barn

No room for a fruit tree?  Espalier them next to a wall, below.  Espalier is a type of pruning.  In ancient times espalier was a necessity.  Seasons were extended and more fruit produced.  Ancients called it survival.

.

Basic.

.

There is more, below, forcing the fruit trees to produce greater amounts.  

Guilds.

.

Perhaps you think the guilds are merely tufts needing the weedeater?

.

Do you know what guilds are?

.

Guilds are under the fruit trees.  Guilds attract pollinators, increasing crop yields by 80%, without any extra human effort.

.

Do the math !

.

With a degree in engineering, and horticulture, I survived most of my adult life without those 2 facts, above.  Instead, thinking, "Rustic charm."

.

Pitiful

.

Leaving USA after the horticulture degree, what- else- was- one- to- do, to truly learn gardening, I fell in love with every le jardin rustique across Europe & Israel.  Created my Landscape Design Formula, Tara Turf, Axis etc...

.

My soul intuitively delighting in experiencing thousands of years, combined, in individual 'le jardin rustiques'.

.

Imagine my surprise when I looked up, permaculture, a term new to me.

.

There I found my dear friend, 'le jardin rustique'.

If you are just now learning these words, and what they mean, I'm sorry.  The joys I've had, for 2 decades across European gardens has been one of my chief delights.

.

Assignment, go to Europe & study  the best historic gardens.  A good source for European garden travel tours, here.

.

Wallpaper?  Allusion to thinking espalier was merely a pretty-thing-to-do.

NOTE to my gardening friends... look for changes to come. 

Knew before computers/cell phones, sitting in Atlanta traffic on way to a client, 'I must reach a larger audience with the same amount of effort.'   Soon after that epiphany I signed my CBS-TV, and, books contracts on the same day.

.

Then I read an article in the NYTimes about something called 'blogging'.  Saved the article for a year before reading it.  Studied all the blogs they mentioned, hired a computer expert they quoted, and attended a blogging seminar.

.

Blogging 2.0 has arrived, my knowledge is 1.0.  A believer in copying the best historic gardens across the globe it flows into every arena of life.  Watching Maria Killam grow her career/blog/life over the past 3 years made its impact.  Signed up  for a year's course with her blogging expert, Jon Morrow. 

.

Changes will be slow, plodding is my adored method.  Pulling triggers here/there is spice in the mix.
.

.

Nothing is too small, too big, or too ego crushing to mention.

Passion lies in sharing what has filled me to the depths of grace, joy & atonement, the best landscapes created over the last 2,000+ years.
