The Mandala vegetable garden project

This mandala garden project was a bit ambitious, our first steps in permaculture, and we don’t know yet where it will lead us, but we want to give back to the mother earth a worthy space to blossom. With a bit of luck, after more or less successful attempts, many mistakes, capricious weather, she will give it back to us a bit, or in abundance if we let her speak again. Many thanks to Perrine for your help, your inspiration and your contagious energy, and to my grandfather Fournol for sticking my hands in the soil as soon as I could walk…

In a little over a month, we turned over, just once to limit the soil underlayer trauma, these 500m2 of soil, an old lawn that had been tamped down for decades. The seeds are incubating in the office, which has been transformed into a greenhouse under artificial light, and we need to get them out into the open air as soon as possible. The graphic inspirations came from the days, offering a winding circulation to get lost among the squashes, potatoes, carrots and other delights that nature offers us.

Next year, weather permitting, we will build our wooden greenhouse before, perhaps, introducing animals, who knows…
