Great Review from Cultivating Place

Even on a Monday - Heaven IS a garden.... Enjoyed so many things about @jan.johnsen 's book on garden design concepts entitled Heaven is a Garden(@stlynnspress), but perhaps my favorite was the way she covers the idea that all gardens have a "power spot". This caught me and rang so true to every garden with which I've had a relationship: that one place where the energy causes pause, where the light gathers or simply where you are drawn or re-freshed by being there for no reason you can put your finger on other than perhaps that the "spirit" of the place feels strong there. In my own little new suburban garden I'm considering the way we shape space - find and cultivate this moment of energetic exchange or pause. Thank you Jan Johnsen for the thought provoking pages! #cultivatingplace #gardenlife #heavenisagarden #gardenstories #gardenbooks #gardenwriters #slowgardening #mindfulgardening #geniusloci

ALGOFLASH FLOWER FOOD

Algoflash differs from other leading fertilizers -it is a liquid 100% completely soluble in water, a 100% mineral base combined with a range of pure trace elements and magnesium. One liter of concentrate will make 450 liters of fertilizer for use (about 115 gallons).
