The Natural System Landscape
The natural system garden
teaches us not to be afraid of the decay, disintegration,
and the apparent chaos of natural processes. All the
marginal land of the urban centers can be reclaimed into
these gardens. They contain groves of native plants which
attract native wild life. They provide the drainage
basins, connected and restored, which in turn support
native fauna and flora thus providing local identity.
These gardens are not exhibition stages for our artistic
creations, but a way of integrating our lives into the
natural communities, of cohabiting the terrestrial spaces
which we currently dominate. The process of developing a
true liking for our environment, rather than wishing we
lived somewhere else, can only happen if we understand
and experience it on a daily basis.
