Profil des personnes

Je veux apprendre à jardiner! Les plantes m’interrogent sur mon rôle dans le monde et je crois que la nature est un pédagogue incroyable : elle ne ment jamais, elle ne trompe pas, elle nous laisse nous tromper et corrige inlassablement nos erreurs. Avec la nature, il y a un temps pour chaque chose et un geste pour chaque instant, même se relever pour écouter passer un oiseau ou observer le ciel ! La nature nous apprend cela patiemment et en silence. Elle ne relève pas nos erreurs sur l’instant, mais toujours et justement après que nous ayons eu l’occasion de les comprendre. Je me souviens avoir planté mes choux à côté de mes petits pois et avoir regretté de mai à septembre que ni les uns ni les autres ne paraissent se plaire au potager cette année là. Et bien, c’est en hiver que j’ai eu un peu de temps pour lire et que j’ai trouvé dans un livre de jardinage que les petits pois n’aimaient pas la transformation du sol et de l’air produite par les racines et les odeurs des feuilles de chou et inversement ! Incroyable non ?

Yes to local urban agriculture – No to a temporary parking lot!!!
