Bio - Boe
Hello, my name is Boe, and I’m an avid gardner. I have a passion for
plants, a passion for observation, and a passion for growth! Observation
of natural processes is therapeutic for the soul, and much cheaper than
therapy. For me, gardening is an escape and my single largest source of
creative inspiration.
My history with gardening goes way back, and my photographs
speak a thousand words. I inherited my passion for gardening from my
mother, and from her mother. My family roots go way back to the Ozark
region of Southern Missouri. Nature, and the observation thereof, is one
thing that nearly everyone in my family holds common.
I am a person of many passions, and one of those passions happens to be the observation of “the way of things.” Perhaps that’s why I chose the career
path as a technologist — someone who observes, and attempts feverishly to
replicate. I have a very systematic approach to things, but at the same
time I am often overcome by “sparkle-noise”. This noise is the artistic
voice deep down in my subconscious that has fought feverishly all my life to be heard and represented. The sparkle-factor combined with my deep need to make sense of chaos somehow balances out, and makes me who I am.
In 2006 I participated in the Seattle Tilth certified organic gardening program (COG), thereby receiving my certificate. If you are located anywhere near the Seattle, Washington area, I highly recommend participating in COG, even if you already feel like an expert! I met some great people in the program, and walked away with a lot of new ideas. COG really helped me move past my mid-west “every-plant-in-a-row”
mentality to a more “go-with-the-flow” gardening style. Row gardening is an effective style, it just doesn’t appeal to my aesthetic senses.
If a healthy soil is full of death, it is also full of life:
worms, fungi, microorganisms of all kinds … Given only the health of the soil, nothing that dies is dead for very long.
- Wendell Berry, The Unsettling
of America, 1977
