The Seed of Life Garden
This project really took off when I realized that it was indeed a seed itself and that the core pattern was naturally expansive.
The Seed of Life Garden keeps redefining itself and exceeding my expectations in every way. The Flower of Life Homeless Community Plan was stirring in the back of my mind when Covid-19 emerged and our homeless situation in California went from bad to worse. We need a plan that small communities of people can initiate and that the homeless themselves enjoy. Centering people’s focus on the Seed of Life Garden affords so many benefits. Whether interested in food security to group accountability, the shared garden provides.
This seed can sprout it any soil.
Just to illustrate the myriad of ways that this garden can be scaled to any size project, and to show what diverse interests embrace the pattern; here is a list of its uses to date.
I have this garden in miniature as a fairy garden kit.
It is the core of a children’s story called Big Seeds in Amoraflora, Bunda.
I built it at a Dude Ranch with help from the Nevada County Peace Center.
A Catholic school won our school garden contest.
Our recycling office built it with the help of local inmates.
It can fit into any size project. Later, if interest grows, simply expand the garden while staying true to the seed pattern.
