Notice how diversity and the meeting of different spaces create richness, habitat, learning, and increased life in the garden.

This station brings together two important permaculture ideas: diversity and edge. Diversity strengthens the garden by increasing resilience, beauty, habitat, food, and ecological balance. Edge is where different conditions meet, such as path and bed, garden and bush, open and shaded space, or gathering area and planting zone. These meeting places often hold special energy and richness. At Ediblescapes, diversity and edge help create a more living and participatory garden.

A question to consider

Where do you notice different worlds meeting here, and what happens in those places?
