Comments and DialogueFrom Solomon in Cleveland: I am a 10th grade student at a school in Cleveland. The school is extremely small and its building is a renovated house on a street behind the area of the city that contains the museums, CWRU and some other schools, and Severance Hall. There are neighboring houses, both large, and we have the advantage of combining the outdoor space for gardening. Though our tract of land is considerably small, the school has land-management plans. We are doing a landscaping project and it is a venture to create an almost-entirely edible landscape. Students are participating in the planning, to a degree.
I know that HMI specializes in assisting with the management of large tracts of land, and our miniscule area does little to compare, but I am confident that the method of HMI would be applicable.
Your message was forwarded on to me in Africa where I am much of the time. Thank you for your kind comments. Most certainly Holistic Management is applicable to your situation as it is simply a way for people in any walk of life to make most decisions in a manner that is simultaneously economically, socially and environmentally sound short and long term. This could be in a household as the simple book by Ann Adams lays out or it can be at any level up to national and international government and institutions.
For your small area and with your desire to make much of the garden edible I would suggest you connect with the Permaculture organization as they have a great deal of experience and many innovative ideas about small scale gardening in a highly practical and useful manner.
All the best with your efforts.
Allan.
