Hi Reader,

Imagine walking through a garden where pollinators hum, fruit trees thrive, and every plant plays a role in the ecosystem. This isn’t just a dream—it’s how nature works when we embrace diversity.
​
Diversity is God’s design—from the vast ecosystems of rainforests to the unique plants thriving in your backyard. The more diverse your garden, the more resilient, productive, and balanced it becomes. 🌍
​
Yet, 94% of seed diversity has disappeared in the last century—and when we grow the same crops year after year, we risk pest invasions, soil depletion, and weaker harvests. The solution? Planting a garden that mirrors nature’s variety!
​
​That’s exactly what we’re exploring in our new blog + video on Building Diversity in Your Garden.

🌱 Learn How to Increase Diversity in Your Garden

🌳 Fill in the Gaps – Instead of bare soil, plant pollinators, nitrogen-fixers, or ground covers to support your main crops.
🌾 Let Weeds Teach You – Many weeds are indicators of soil health—some even provide natural mulch and aeration.
🥕 Balance Your Harvest – Grow crops at different heights: fruiting plants, leafy greens, and root crops in the same bed.
​
By working with nature’s design instead of against it, you create an ecosystem that thrives effortlessly.
