We are Starting a Movement - Join the Quiet Garden Evolution! |16 Feb 12 @ 02:32pm
I want to start a QUIET GARDEN EVOLUTION back to the days of peaceful suburban gardens and the sounds of family and community joy across the front and back yards of suburbia.
Too often we lock ourselves up behind gates and fences, hide away from the neighbours and plough money and noise into powered tools that dislocate the peace and serenity of a neighbourhood.
House by house ... street by street ... take the challenge and join the evolution!! Take a quick look at this wonderful 3 minute TED talk by Derek Sivers on “How to Start a Movement” - http://www.ted.com/talks/derek_sivers_how_to_start_a_movement.html
Call me crazy, but I want to be that FIRST GUY!!
So check out the Quiet Garden Evolution facebook page and sign up, and of course, order the TShirt and wear it with quiet pride.
Sit back ... look at your garden ... think about what you really want from it in terms of design, use and pleasure and consider the noise levels you might have unwittingly created whether by yourself or in combination with the others in your street and community.
What could you do about it?
Here are some considerations ...
- Redesign your garden for low energy inputs by you and the tools
- Cancel the gym, save some money, and exercise in the garden for a couple of hours with the family
- Consider NOISE and consider the neighbours
- What do your kids want from a garden…fun and adventure v computer games?
- Productive gardens that attract birds, animals and creative wonder.
- Grow some veges and herbs; get in some chooks, have a duck as a pet(they are great!)
Get on board ... be the “radical hippy” you always wanted to be ...
One quiet garden at a time!!
Call Craig now to discuss and consider what you would like from your garden.
