A sense of wonder is the enemy of the imperial mind. – Martin Prechtel
Nature is respite, Nature heals, Nature is welcoming of all Beings, so why then as gardeners do we still blindly follow old dictates and garden rules? Why garden in rigid black and white? Allow yourself the all-inclusive joy of a wild, expressive garden that is beautiful, biodiverse and healing.
Lead with your heart! Observe! Be curious! Cultivate a sense of wonder when meeting and working with all Beings who live on the Land. Do not be afraid of your garden or the plants in it; even those plants who humans label invasive offer us gifts of beauty and health.
Karin Ursula has an M.S. in Landscape Design from Columbia University, studied with Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower at Earth School in Delaware County, and works with plants in subtle and healing ways. As an ecological landscape designer for 15 years, Karin is known for cultivating biodiverse gardens in the Catskill Mountains alongside her beloved dogs Bella, Ollie, Arthur, and Suzie. Indigenous eco-philosophy authors such as Sherri Mitchell, Martin Prechtel, and Derrick Jensen continue to shape and form her relationship with plants, winged, four-footed and furry creatures and Mother Earth.
