Organic Gardening: Nurturing a Healthy Planet

Come, join our friendly revolution!

Our organic gardens are a means to demonstrate how to grow vegetables and herbs, save energy and water consumption, create soil, nurture a cooperative spirit and excite people so much they actually go home and start doing it.

The Center for Creative Ecology has its roots as a simple home garden for supplying organic vegetables for Lotan's internal consumption. The quiet pastoral setting has proven to be very fruitful not only for organic produce, but for fertilization of ideas, concepts, and vision for a healthier planet and ways to live on it.

In striving to create a micro-climate and attain an ecological balance in the garden, we find a metaphor of Lotan's community aspirations: local sustainability, minimal environmental impact, while quietly spreading a message of global responsibility for our surroundings.

Remember! Composting, Community Supported Agriculture, layered gardens, biologically friendly pesticides -birds, insects, flowers, plants, and trees- mixed row planting, all contribute to serene surroundings.
