Seeding the Future

A message from the Board of Trustees:

It is evident that we are living in a time of great transition, socially, economically and also on a personal level. At the Trustees meeting we contemplated how to respond to change, letting go of the past, being open to what the future brings and being awake to what wants to emerge. This is often painful but can be fruitful depending on our attitude and the will to birth and nurture new ideas. The notion of seeding the future is strongly felt and this was also our theme for the Budget Forum that took place on Sunday 21 February.

At the Community forum on 21 February 2021 each one present brought a seed, or could select a seed graciously provided by Jean McGillivray, to plant in a pot. The purpose was to watch it germinate and grow, transplant it into the garden when appropriate and possibly collect the seed from the plant when it flowered to reseed future plants.

Here are photos of the results:
