Quoted by3/ Nation-states gone mad for the illusion of separateness? Where we might fail as ambassadors, the trees do not, faithful as they are to the concrete, functional integrity of a deeper planetary reality of unity, mutualism, resilience, harmony, beauty and, yes, reconciliation.Quoted byRT @AgrarianSharing: @ProjectOrchard Pros and cons. Even as dollarzombie predominance massively constrains the space in which US-based regenerative designers can act, a peculiarly American freedom also gifts our eco-social physicians unrivaled access to planetary diversity and its resultant bio-composite synergies.Quoted byRT @AgrarianSharing: @ProjectOrchard Pros and cons.

Because we’re no fools. We’ve emerged at the forefront of the PNW ‘future heirloom’ intelligence network with a proven record identifying and freely, widely sharing the most promising annual and perennial cultivars in our bioregional midst.
