A tribute cache to the practice of bio-intensive gardening.The cache is named after a 28 minute video biography of Alan Chadwick.
"The late Alan Chadwick, actor, master gardener, and inventor of the "Biodynamic French Intensive Method" spent 50 years in the garden -- digging, planting and watching.
Chadwick's method of gardening in raised beds produces an amazing amount of food in very little space, and uses few resources. Over 50 countries are developing garden projects based on his technique.
But to Chadwick there is more to gardening than growing food. It can nourish your soul as well.
A beautiful portrait of a dynamic human being, it was photographed at Chadwick's gardens in Virginia, Boulder Creek and Bolinas, California. It also features John Jeavons and Dr. Paul Lee, who discuss Chadwick's vitally important contribution to small-scale agriculture in a hungry world."
There is an ongoing need to raise awareness of the looming food crisis around the world. Population is growing and access to farmable land is shrinking by hundreds of thousands of acres yearly. I feel it is important that people learn to grow more vegetables to supplement or provide all of their dietary needs. Hopefully they will be energized like myself to then teach these methods to others.
The cache is an ammo can located near the teaching gardens where I learned the grow bio-intensive method. Have fun and tread lightly on the land when you are geocaching.
