The Edible Landscape takes us back to the
land.
The most
profound garden image I carry is of my grandmother in spring, bending down to
gather a handful of soil in her hand. She squeezed it, smelled it, opened her
hand and let it fall back to the ground. Was it moist enough? Did she smell the life force of the compost? Was it
ready for planting?
There was
something magical about her connection to the garden and the bountiful flowers
and vegetables she would produce. It is that
connection that inspires every bite in my edible landscape exhibition.
