Soil-less Gardens

Soil-less Gardens are those projects and goals in our daily lives that are not rooted in water or soil — our job, home, family, profession, classroom, education program, writing project, speech presentation, the arts, business, research projects . . . Perelandra soil-less gardens include a vital element that enhances and ensures new levels of mind-bending success — nature. In a Perelandra soil-less garden you work "hand-in-hand" with nature to provide all the matter, means and action that is required to bring your project or goal to fruition.

Machaelle Wright began her research with nature through a simple vegetable garden. She quickly learned that nature's definition of a garden is broader than we might imagine. It doesn't have to be growing in soil.

A "garden" is any environment initiated and given its purpose by humans, and maintained with the help of humans.

That changes things! Cooking, a restaurant, artwork, a museum or a memorial, design, construction, racing, an event, mechanics, business management, cleaning, governing, repairing, recycling, manufacturing, engineering . . . each of these things is a garden. It just isn't growing in soil. We call it a "soil-less garden" or "SLG" for short. Anyone can work in partnership with nature to establish, sustain and achieve success with a soil-less garden project.

The resources to begin this grand adventure with nature are listed below.
