Why Biodiverse Gardening?

At Lotus Flower Farm (home of Tomato Bliss), biodiversity makes our farm grow and makes each year of growing easier and more abundant. One of the cornerstones of biodynamic growing is choosing trees, shrubs and plants that serve multi-purposes.?It's a principle that's easy to adopt for garden and container planting and usually gets people talking.

To start, combine perennials and edibles in a patch of your garden and you'll begin to build microbial life in your soil and find delight in surprising bouquets.

Some of my favorite perennials and edibles for a biodiverse garden are Mountain Mint, Coneflower, Hyssop, and Sweet Pea Currant Tomato. Each is easy to grow from seed and will bring multi-layers of surprising delight.
