V Star Varieties Nursery UpdateIn sweet time, sad time, hard time, old time, new time, basically all the time, I’ve observed that Life Grows On. It’s hard to stop life from trying to make a go of it. The life force is that - a FORCE. A seed becomes a seedling, becomes a flowering plant, becomes food or beauty, becomes more seeds, becomes compost out of which grow more seeds.
In this time of Corona virus, this in-between time, I thought I would have lots of free time to write about gardening... |

This is an outstanding spring! We are all so lucky to be able to get out in nature around our island. While we are staying in and around our homes, check out LINC's digital E-digest. It’s full of nature photos from around the island, information resources and news. Find them all on our website at http://lasqueti.ca/linc. Please send us photos, with captions, of what's happening in the natural world in your neighborhood and we will add them to our future E-digests!
Sadly, the Amphibian walk with Barb Beasley will be postponed until further notice. Unfortunately our AGM will also be postponed until we can meet again in person.Until then, enjoy Lasqueti naturally. |

We're still working on a good name, let us know if you have any ideas (Lasqueti Food Producers Alliance? Lasqueti Food Growers? Island Food Collective? ......)

I aspire To draw the breath of freedom. Freedom to act in a manner that protects My survival And the survival and wellbeing of others To the best of my ability. Freedom to listen without judgement To care, and love equally All who strive and struggle. Freedom from attachment to viewpoint For this I know.. When I accept my own world view And my chosen beliefs As Universal Truth The world closes to me And I walk alone on a narrow path Lacking the compassion and openness That bring us together. John Martin |
