Two things Ive noticed. The variety of food plants, support plants and weeds provides a lot of contrast of textures, leaf forms and shades of green. A dandelion seed head is inherently beautiful when not judged. Also, taking responsibility for feeding bees and birds has the effect of integrating you into the eco-system. Instead of seeing the garden as a me-centred food supply, I now wonder if the bees and birds will have enough to eat. We are becoming more equal. I think indigenous peoples always saw the world this way. Thats why its tangata whenua, not whenua tangata. I think the Crown still doesnt understand this.
