Gardening

Gardening has to do with the production of food and seeds. Starts with Soil. Where does it come from and how do you keep the soil so it will provide the food plants need to grow? Seeds. Where do seeds come from (yes, they come from plants, but how do farmers and gardeners get all the many seeds they need?). But it also has to do with the management of soil and water. A very important issue that will be in your studies throughout the Expedition. Water, who owns it and how does it get shared. You have to have water to grow food to feed people. Beyond that is the magic and the mytholody of gardening. Many Native American Tribes know the art of Weather Making. We'll study weather in the Global-Garden Expedition. Gardening also has to do with Sustainability. Garden Sustainability (which means making a garden that will be there next year), Community Sustainability, Regional Sustainability, each is conected to the others. The ability to grow food has a lot to do with a community or tribes sustainability. We will study Sustainable Communities and their gardens as we journey through the Global-Garden Expedition.
