#5 Isn't it a lot of work?

20 Common Questions about my Immersive Garden

Pink Knautia in the Cottage Garden this month.

"The garden reconciles human art and wild nature, hard work and deep pleasure, spiritual practice and the material world. It is a magical place because it is not divided."

🌿 Thomas Moore

Continuing our series today on “20 Common Questions” that I often get about my garden. Today’s question is one that I get very frequently:

#5 Isn't it a lot of work?

Yes and no. I spend more mental time, but less muscle time than what you might think.

I spend less time/work on:

Less weekly maintenance.

Much less mowing.

Less mulching where the plants have grown together to form a living mulch.
