CUISINE OF RADICAL ROOTS

Coming from a culinary background in Edinburgh, Scotland, Alistair M. is uniquely gifted to tease your palate. A first-generation American, with Scottish Texan roots and an interest in permaculture. A self-avowed novice gardener, Alistair emphasizes the power of just getting started whether or not you have a plan. Some people never get beyond the planning stage. Sometimes instead of stressing out the best way to garden is to just dig a hole and plant a tree. You can often fix a problem as you go. The gardens here have been achieved without formal training or education and showcase the power of untrained permaculture. Nature knows best.
