Seeing Nature
When I first started teaching gardening I stumbled across Paul Krafel’s Seeing Nature, and it was a revelation to me. Through a series of personal nature parables he shifts our perception in order to reveal the subtle flows, cycles, patterns and personalities that inhabit the living world around us. Sand fleas, a deer carcass, vulture flight, tundra flora and water erosion (among other things) all have something to teach us, if only we are willing to look deeply and listen.

Go See Food Inc.
Last night I saw Food Inc., the new documentary on the industrial food system, and I think it’s a movie absolutely everyone should see. It stylishly weaves together the whole (often sad) story of our food into a more approachable format than say, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, so that a much wider audience will know the high cost of cheap food.
