We all have the power to create and facilitate a greater difference then we can imagine. Personally, you cannot impress me more as an individual than if you have a hobby or occupation that contributes to the greater good, and benefits more than just your day-to-day living.
Despite feeling a longing sense for summer to continue, and sadness at the leaves beginning to turn towards their autumn hues, I do in fact look forward to autumn in the northern climate here in Berlin.
Urban gardening is nothing new. In fact, it’s been around for as long as humans have lived in cities! Through time, the significance of urban gardening has taken on different levels of meaning; serving as tools for social reform, as subsistence in times of food insecurity, and even as a simple pastime in times of prosperity.
One of our favourite test garden successes is a 2-meter avocado tree, that has been going strong for more than 2 years now. We planted the pit on a whim and from the first day until the plant was actually strong enough to be planted up to a pot, almost 6 months passed.
Whether one is an accomplished gardener or just starting out, sometimes deciding on the things that we want to dedicate our little garden sanctuaries to for the summer can be, well, a challenging decision!
