This ecological and community art project designed by Beverly Naidus features a "food forest" of perennial herbs, berries & veggies to feed the community, as well as demonstration of soil remediation via plants and mushrooms. In the center of the garden is a story hive that houses the stories of farmers and gardeners on the island who responded to the question: why do you plant seeds in a time of ecological crisis?

First steps, revised
We are still waiting to go through another hoop to get approval from the board of directors at the new site, and we are getting a little impatient. But I am determined to get started with aspects of the project that are not dependent on a particular site. Our story "hives" and benches require some "action/research" so I need to get the word out. If I write a short article for the local paper I can inspire some gardeners and farmers to participate. So Shahreyar and I will go out with video camera in hand, and start harvesting stories. I will also brainstorm with him re. the structure, size and dimensions of the hives. Collecting "pollen" to make "honey."
