lost in the landscape - musings of an artist loosed in a garden
Oggi ho scovato lost in the landscape passando per la notizia gardens as social spaces che segnala il reportage fotografico segnalato appena sopra. E' un sito estremamente interessante... mi appunto, solo dalla pagina principale, extreme "bonsai", in particolare per la coppia siamese di vasi di metallo
...
e poi, ancestral vegetables, plant combinations, botanical art...
infine wild and out of control
Somerset Community Garden

The Garden
Providence, Southside
Filling one square block in the Southside of Providence, Rhode Island, the Somerset Community Garden currently contains seventy two garden plots. The families who garden there are of African-American, European, Cambodian, Dominican, Hmong, Laotian or Liberian origin.
On one level, these photographs document the practical function of the garden: to allow gardeners to produce food for their families and for sale to local markets. But the function of the garden is more complex: the garden fosters dialogue between cultures and enables its gardeners to retain their cultural traditions. The garden becomes a metaphor for the neighborhood and a window into the lives and cultures of the people that it serves.
The Somerset Community Garden is Administered by Southside Community Land Trust
