Memories of mache (and prospects of a new one)
PASSIVE Gardening

Intrinsic
Who needs the excitement of a #giveaway? PASSIVE Gardening -my first book published under MTD, will go to 3 winners in 3 formats.
Why would this book be a fantastic addition to your library? It's your method for suppressing weeds, creating a beautiful almost greenhouse-like climate outdoors, growing perennial mulch plants, sucking carbon from the air into your soil, as you watch and harvest salad. It's passive gardening like passive solar houses. A lot of permaculture concepts people find difficult to apply to the average vegetable garden I've cleared up here and made easy to understand.
Enter by following (if you don't already) and commenting under this post that you would go for the signed, softcover copy with talk trifold,* OR the Kindle ebook edition, OR the deluxe edition with extra images, extra articles, complete with electronic signature, as this edition is only available in PDF sent directly from my email.
Increase your entry by subscribing my article releases on the blog (www.mortaltree.blog link in bio). Make sure to comment under this post or DM me that you're following the blog so I can add points.

#tb to the floral design for my 25th birthday party in November. What better gift for a floral designer than designing the party display of his dreams? The driftwood piece is an ancient curly willow branch grown on our farm. It was so much fun working with @theenglishgarden and @cathycowgillflowers to source exotic flowers like King Bird of Paradise, waxflower, cymbid orchids I don't grow myself. Japanese knotweed from the fields gave a redish moss effect to the orchids. The rest of the room had ceiling to floor waterfalls and trees of this red knotweed. Despite the bleached affect, the lights came on after most of the guests had left for a more detailed pic of the urns and wall arrangment of knotweed. I love the urn with the green laser flashing through it! Thanks to all my fantastic guests that night!
Donated an event of flowers last October to my friends at Heartland. It was a gorgeous, event raising funds for eyesight in Cambodia. The arrangments were small pints of dahlias, sweet annie, lisianthus, and grasses with green heartseed vines connecting them. The garland this made meandered all the way down the table to where @naturals_by_laura and I enjoyed the evening. Thanks @codylarosa for the great interview!

All these images and quotes come from chapter 1 of Intrinsic. I published this whole first chapter on my website yesterday. Link to this post is on the Kickstarter page you can find in my bio. The Kickstarter has already raised over 500 towards its 17,000 funding goal! Thanks everyone for reaching new heights in our science of ecology design.
