The Garden & Orchard
“Moon gardening is not about doing more work, it’s about doing the right work. It’s all about the core principles, taking a step back now and again and not rushing, and in learning from what you see. Moon gardening makes you more thoughtful and observant in general. And if you are prepared to see, a garden will always tell you what you need to know.” JH
