What a helpful find! I have recently committed to a later-in-life mission to conserve/steward/learn from/create with and eventually share with the public a 15-acre piece of land near the coast of Lake Michigan. Motherspark is aimed at providing a place for people to heal, be inspired creatively and connect and learn directly from unsullied nature and the trees especially. The process of preparing this place and integrating the ancient knowledge and recent science regarding the interdependence of species (while maintaining my work as a tree sculptor) is often overwhelming, so finding others who have traveled a similar path is heartening.
Anne Stobart’s book seems (according to the reviews and sample pages I’ve read) to be full of practical expertise, some of which I hope to incorporate into my site.
Others’ questions regarding the book and its application to USA planting zones, native plant enhancement, invasive plants and subsequent answers/discussion have already affirmed the value of acquiring this new book while I am still in the initial planning stages for my forest garden endeavors. Brava!
