Functional. Beautiful. Inspirational. Sustainable.

 saintelumiere: “Potage” is a French word for a potted dish, usually a vegetable soup. In the Middle Ages, the soups were a major part of people’s diets in France. The potager (poh-tuh-zhay) was the garden that supplied the ingredients. Today, potager gardens combine the utilitarian nature of the English kitchen garden with the style and beauty of the French. Plants are chosen as much for their functionality as for their color and form. Most potager gardens have a symmetrical or geometric shape, perhaps with a center focal point, such as a tree, a fountain or a large pot of herbs. So interesting!! I am going to be doodling symmetrical/geometric garden designs, hee hee. 

» New ‘Monsanto Protection Act’ Could Give Monsanto Power Over US Government

fuckyeahpermaculture:

Monsanto lobbyists have successfully pushed a last minute change into the Continuing Resolution spending bill which was approved by U.S. Congress recently. If not vetoed by President Obama, this will give Monsanto immunity from U.S. government action regarding the safety of any and all new GMO crops and will take away the Judiciary system’s constitutional mandate to review GMO crops to ensure the safety of both consumers and the environment.

Again, this has already been passed by congress so if you are against this, the only way to stop it now is to get President Obama to veto this bill when it reaches his desk.

Food Democracy Now has a petition currently organized to tell President Obama to veto it at fooddemocracynow.org.
