Winter Solstice Reflection In An Icy Garden

winter garden Yesterday was the official first day of winter and the good news is that means the days will be getting longer from here on out! I admit that I haven't been out in the garden much since the temperature has been stadily below my West Coast tolerance for winter. From the looks of it we could almost ice skate down the paths. There are planty of tracks in the snow proving that the garden is not fully dormant in winter. What I can gues are mostly rabbits, mice, some cat prints and maybe birds. On thing I can't find a trace of, of course, are our favotirte garden creatures. BUGS and WORMS of course! What happens tothem I wondered and although I enjoyed the image I conjured up of a worm family cozily coiled around a fireplace munching some rotting beet we left in the ground, I know it wasn't true. II discovered that insects hibernate or are handily equiped with an 'antifreeze' type blood. And the worms, well they have a pretty intelligent winter coping mechanism...better then mine at least. Next year remind me to follow the geese south!

Red Tail Hawk's Eye View

This beautiful photo was taken by UCONN landscape arcitecture student Sabrina Buttitta from the roof of the Underswood Senior Apartments. It is a great perspective on how urban agriculture fits into our cityscape. You can see I-84 winding in the background just as the banks of the Park River used to hug the land against the garden. Urban mini-farms such as GROW are an oasis of new opportunity for our cities; from outdoor education, to micro-enterprise potentials, for wildlife, and transformative beauty. For me it is a reminder that the city still connects to the earth, where natural features and topography are released to express themselves and interact with the human elements fo the modern city. This is an easy thing to forget as sit in traffic on Park St. watching layers of asphalt and stone laid down, but important to remember when you create the opportunity to harvest red sweet tomatoes on a lot that used to be filled with debris and scare the squirrels away from a neat and row of rasberries.-Shannon
