Valiant Steed of BumbleBee takes a moment to pose for my camera. This is an Echinacea bloom. The bee still finds more pollen in between the pistils.

Community Garden...hmmm.
My thought on community gardening.
The garden needs to be used to educate people and teach them as they work under supervision to yield the results of a well managed garden.

I do not support people getting their own plot in a community garden. Specifically because many folks do not know enough to be successful in their single plot and the mindset is to aggregated from the main garden floor.

Your own plot should be at your home location...or someone else's home location near your living area.

Back to Eden Gardening method emphasizes a connected garden-scape where living microbiome under the cover of the soil are treated like a living organism across the entire expanse of the garden ground space. This method creates maximum abundance and productivity in the most natural and organic way.

Permaculture takes the entire process to the next level with careful attention to every aspect of the plants life cycle. From seed planting to fruit/seed harvesting. We assist in the natural propagation of the plants we grow, by observing their natural processes through the Winter into Spring. This is how we collect our own seeds as well to heirloom a vegetable variety in your own yard.

Sustainable Agriculture with Animals helps take things to the next level in a cyclical and symbiotic relationship between animal's manure/nutrients and new growth of plants. The circle of life.

A proper community garden will have knowledgeable leaders running the schedule of work and garden tasks.

A proper community garden (with a greenhouse) could be run 24/7/365 and could be tuned for plant production to the outside growing season schedule.

A well built greenhouse, well insulated, and kept at 70 to 80 degrees can yield you summer fruits. If you utilize proper wind, light, air circulation, watering, and temperature.

This is the long term vision for multiple locations and local people to advance into the methodologies for the benefit of their local neighborhood and beyond.

Cheers, Happy Gardening and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Let's pray 2024 is a positive and productive year.

God Bless You.

This is for you...and you may not even know it yet.
The writing is on the wall folks.
Food is becoming more and more expensive...
Food is becoming BIOENGINEERED!
Do you want to eat that?
Whatever that BIOENGINEERED thing is???

The TRUTH of the matter is our COLLECTIVE MINDSET as AMERICANS has failed the test of our FOREBEARERS and if we don't change our individual approach and mindset NOW...we will be extinguished by starvation.

Yes we know about all the evil and the problems in the world.
It requires a certain level of energy to awaken to the reality of evil, manipulation and STRONG DELUSION we are seeing exposed in the world today.

COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE!
COME OUT OF BABYLON!

Everyone says they do not want to be part of Babylon...
BUT WE ALL ARE LIVING in the conveniences of Babylon.
The Oligarchy provides all that we could need for our self-absorbed lives. Why would we leave the comforts of the government teat?
BECAUSE IT IS BABYLON!

BUT we MUST begin introducing SOLUTIONS!

I know that most folks cannot just STOP and change gears on a dime because they are STRAPPED with BILLS and the WEIGHT of the WORLD just trying to SURVIVE. I GET IT!

OTHER REASONS for not participating?
Too OLD, POOR, BUSY,
Don't have land.
Don't care about anything?
Depressed.
Medical Conditions. Other....etc....

Necessity is the mother of invention.

That is why WE need support too. ALL THESE REASONS!
We have been trailblazing this movement in our own lives for about a decade now. The VISION has grown and changed.
We are carrying the mantle of this vision.
The burden of this hope for the community.
WHILE AT THE SAME TIME running a business in the community.
So we get it.

SHORT TERM we must change the MINDSET in our own backyards.
The amount of time we waste...we can REDEEM THE TIME.
WE NEED people to STAND UP and LEAD in their own backyards!
Show me your work!
I want to see your vision!

Most of us spend too much time scrolling socials and freaking out about the world unraveling. That IS THE DISTRACTION.
After a certain amount of time....you know...you are wasting your time. Feeling despondent. Hoping if you keep scrolling that you might see someone else present the solution to the problems we face. Stuck in the LOOP!

FOODSCAPE is the LONG TERM SOLUTION to the Food problem; for nutrition and survival are now becoming ONE IN THE SAME.

BUT WE NEED SUPPORT!
From the folks who want to see a SOLUTION.
It will have to be a community based solution.
This cannot be a business for Greedy Profits.
It must be a work in which the community comes together with all the resources needed to build the FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITIES to GROW FOOD 365 DAYS A YEAR. :-)

YA, that's the long term vision...we need a council of elders for FOODSCAPE.

The SHORT TERM VISION is simple.
GROW THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY in YAVAPAI COUNTY.
I am dedicated to the MISSION.

IF YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE?
You can help by buying these beautiful pictures from FOODSCAPE.

I am open to working locally as well with those who want more than one picture for their walls.

Any advice on how to do some gallery work or displays in the real world would be informative for my future efforts.

SO MINDSET needs to be followed by ACTION and RESOURCES.
Would you like to help me form a plan for the future of FOODSCAPE?
