- Permaculture Raw Feast July 14th, 2009
Once upon a time, there was an ordinary patch of ground surrounding an ordinary townhouse and then Lucinda moved in.
Mirror mirror on the hedge who is the fairest veg of all? Hanging pots, trailing vines, mandalas, flags, trickling water features, ponds of shiny new water ready for frogs and lizards – all flowing together in an enchanted garden.

Mirrors reflect the sun, radiating warmth into shady corners where plants bask in the glow. While not necessarily a permaculture principle the plants seem to thrive on the reflected warmth. A dozen or more mirrors placed in specific positions around the garden create a fairytale effect like Alice in Wonderland through the looking glass. Our own reflections looked back at us from a hedge, ‘windows’ into another dimension.
