Slow Gardening

I enjoyed this article on "slow gardening" in the Times. It reported on a movement or style of gardening that focuses on perennials, serendipity, outsider art, re-purposing, informality, and a certain sort of "wabi-sabi" aesthetic.

I think this approach is very much a kindred what I see in a lot of the gardens of Brooklyn. I've always thought someone should really write a great field guide to the gardens of Brooklyn....!
