Seeds of the Mind

My job as a gardener or educator is to know that the potential is there and that it will unfold. People have a potential for growth; it's inside, it's in the seed" -Myles Horton Gardening and agriculture are siblings because they are born from the Earth. Teaching and learning are siblings born of the mind. With newer, faster, and greater technology speeding up our lives we forget that without food and without the planet under our feet, all of the technology would be meaningless. We cannot also forget that the Earth, as vast as it is and as rich as it is, must be able to sustain all who inhabit it -- unfortunately, that is not always the case. So Seeds of the Mind will look at what gardeners, farmers, foundations, government, schools, and everything in-between that affect the gardens and farms that sustain life.

Rosemary and Thyme: The Complete Collection starring Pam Ferris as Laura Thyme, and Felicity Kendal as Rosemary Boxer, follows the two gardening partners as they dig up bulbs and bodies. These two become fast friends after and business partners after solving a murder and having their lives turned upside down. I have enjoyed these "cozy" mysteries. These two just seem to find murder while creating some of the most beautiful gardens. #gardens #video #mysteries #rosemaryandthyme http://ift.tt/2gQos4J

Rodale's Color Handbook of Garden Insects by Anna Carr and published in 1979 helps identify 100's of beneficial and not so beneficial insects in found in the garden. The photographs show the insects at different stages in their life cycles, and information is provided that shows the geographical range (some have changed since printing), feeding habits, and life cycles. #bookstagram #gardening #insects http://ift.tt/2gMnlpY

I love Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn. It is one of my favorite videos. It showcases some of the most beautiful gardens in the world and has Audrey Hepburn, who was an avid gardener herself, act as guide. #gardens #audreyhepburn #video http://ift.tt/2fwg0XC
