Stewardship
Through our partnership with the Habitat Acquisition Trust, we have agreed on guidelines for the long-term care of our garden.
Our Garden: Working with Habitat Acquisition Trust (HAT)
We also have a lovely garden.
We have an agreement with the Habitat Acquisition Trust (HAT), that we tend for the grounds in an organic and ecological manner. We have developed thicket areas of local native plants, particularly plants of Garry Oak woodlands and meadow, our most endangered local ecosystem. Our resident Friend, Gerald Harris along with the Eco Group, has written a book documenting the native plants in our garden and their traditional uses.
We have developed a permaculture demonstration bed, a fruit tree guild, in which the plants benefit one another without cultivation. It sustains itself and gives us fruits, herbs, and flowers.
We have greatly increased the food production of our grounds: tree fruits, berries and vegetables. We supply flowers for the Meeting House almost entirely from our garden. By composting, shredding, and mulching, we put all prunings, weeds, leaves, and other garden materials back into the soil. We are developing a more efficient irrigation system with a long-term aim of converting to rainwater irrigation.
