Shumei Natural Agriculture demonstration site features food sustainability, green roof and energy-saving elements
August date set for dedication, with drumming, green tea and vegetables.By Greg Bowman |
||||
Marking the formal opening of a new demonstration feature at the Rodale Institute, the coming dedication of the Shumei Natural Agriculture Garden will highlight sustainability features in a gardening project scaled for a family of four. Water management, energy savings and year-round food production are design attributes of the garden’s elements, all contributing to lowering greenhouse gas emissions and a family's carbon footprint. Further, the new garden also shows design that creates restful space and beauty amidst the productive beds, as well as practical layout for pathways and complementary items such as compost and grain growing areas. The public is invited to the event set for 10 a.m. to noon, Saturday, August 15. Those planning to attend must contact Sharon Riker (email: Sharon.riker@rodaleinst.org, phone: 610-683-1447) by August 10. For directions, click here. Participating will be Dr. Timothy J. LaSalle, CEO, Rodale Institute; Alan Imai, Shumei director of International Natural Agriculture Programs; and the Shumei America Taiko Group. (For a sample of taiko drumming, view here). Gardeners will be standing by to answer questions. The Shumei Natural Agriculture Garden is one of three horticultural approaches demonstrated near the main buildings of the 330-acre Rodale Institute farm, whose acres are mostly devoted to commercial organic farming and research. The Shumei effort joins the well-known global organic demonstration garden, which has been managed for 36 years by Eileen Weinsteiger, who also manages the Shumei garden. In development is a Bio-dynamic garden, managed by Judelon LaSalle and located adjacent to the other two gardens. Features of the Shumei garden project are best explored by using our interactive map, based on a drawing by Yasushi Fujimoto, an illustrator at the Institute and active participant in developing the garden. Like all the Rodale Institute fields and gardens, the Shumei garden is open for visiting year-round during daylight hours. For an overview see the earlier story Balance, beauty, respect, simplicity. Greg Bowman is communications director for Rodale Institute. |
