About

Building the Seed of Life Garden with inmates was very interesting. They always put their hearts and backs into the work. It meant a lot to be able to be outside. The pattern is inspiring, it encourages the gardener to complete projects because completing the task also completes the pattern. Our minds prefer when patterns are complete.

When homeowners use it to organize their residential landscape design the response is almost always the same…”wow, that was easy!” By simply extending the patter in different ways, all the other garden features naturally fall into place, its a great way to spare the expense of hiring an expensive landscape designer.

Several times school children came to the garden and delighted in the roundness and beauty. They liked that they could touch everything. They really liked that they each got their own seperate section yet still remained a unified group. We dug up one small patch of sedum and everyone went home with Dixie cups brimming with plants.
