Our Common Garden

As people who have worked outdoors for decades, we at White Flower Farm are keenly aware of ways the changing climate affects our work, our economics, our personal comfort, and our sense of well-being... Only a fool could fail to recognize that something has changed profoundly and that the change has vast implications for all of us. There is a difference of opinion among serious people as to whether this change reflects the effect of mankind on his environment or is due to known cyclical changes, such as El Nino. That uncertainty does NOT, in our mind, constitute a reason for paralysis, since the actions necessary to reduce man's impact are well understood, readily implemented, and have absolutely no downside. Indeed, there is a case to be made that a little discipline in the use of energy, raw materials, packaging, and general consumption would be at least as good for each of us as they might be for our common garden, the planet Earth. From time to time, we will post useful comments and suggestions about this topic here. You may contribute by E-mail to: commongarden@whiteflowerfarm.com. Sincerely, Amos Pettingill
