A website dedicated to becoming part of the ecosystems
in our places.
|
|
Every place has a unique assemblage of organisms. From the very smallest to the biggest members
of the place with all of their interactions, including, when present, humans.
What
' grows here' is a different story for each of us; because we live in different places, and because we are unique
indiviuals who interact in our own ways with the places in which we find, or put, ourselves.
There are, of course, deep commonalities and connections. 'Here' can be the yard around our
house, the local area where we live as defined by raw powerful geographical, or political, boundaries, Ultimately
though, 'here' is the whole planet... And it's all connected. Pluck a 'string' here and music, or cacaphony,
is heard there. We are learning that there is no such thing as 'away'.
This site is meant to
include the stories people want to tell about what grows where they are and how they support, and are supported by, those organisms and ecosystems which make up their 'here'.
For now, for here (Chandler and Chevelon), for me, 'it grows here' means:
That which shows up at this place either:
- because it was here before me, or
- because of my attempts
to grow it here, or
- in spite of my attempts to define what should grow here.
For now, the discussion is primarily about plants. That can change. This website will almost certainly morph
and grow because that's what life does. Some of you reading this text will be partners in the changes. Curious journey, life.
I want to hear your, 'it grows here' stories and to post links to other sites in the same theme.
There are already so many wonderful places:
to name a very very few.
Till then, feel
free to sign my guestbook and tell me your "It grows here" story.
Best wishes,
Ruby
