Radical Gardening

I have been doing some research the past few days on what I am calling radical gardening, which (for me) is a combination of permaculture (which is the only way I will roll), small space gardening, and all things gardening alternative.

After all this research my brain was kinda tied up in a knot with how to make this happen when we move into our RV in a few days. I have decided to take this one step at a time and adjust to living in the RV (and what kind of space we are looking at) before building a garden, but all this delicious information is going to percolate in my brain and grow in our lives :)) I'm very excited to share some of the cool information that I found! Enjoy the following delicious radical gardening buffet :)))

In January of this year, my friend, Kimra, first got me to thinking about alternative gardening spaces when she posted this blog post.

This is another fellow self-identified radical gardener, and so is she.

I am going to post a few links/pics to the stuff I want to combine somehow for us :))

I have GOT to find a way to make this happen in the RV. 

using shoe holders! (my friend, Kimra, adds her own suggestion for this in her blog post above)

This really has me thinking, too!

And another cool vertical option

I can see this one on almost any wall

Talk about alternative spaces!!!! Site and video

This has me thinking about towing a trailer garden

This Living Kitchen has me drooling

Okay, on the original site, they call it a flow kitchen -- I <3 both terms!

So those are radical gardening porn (heehee, I love that analogy LOL).

Here are a few links (brain pron?) that REALLY feed my soul:

Creating the Permaculture Balcony Garden

Gardening as a Site of Liberation

Proof that gardening can be cool: Anarchy in the Garden: keeping it punk by growing your own

Garden Girl: Home & Garden: Organic living tips, ideas, & inspiration

I feel very blessed to have personal access to fellow gardeners, like my mom (who has been gardening my entire life) and my friend, MB, who is my biggest source of permaculture inspiration ♥ She has taught me that permaculture is much bigger than just growing plants -- it's a lifestyle. Her blog is a testament to permaculture gardening and permaculture lifestyle ♥ Like her life, her blog is embedded with gardening, but I managed to find a good "Permaculture 101, as told in the context of MB" blog post, called earth as schooner ~ a permaculture analogy.

**EEK! Jumping on to edit to add a few links I totally forgot about other alternative gardening ways:
