Community Gardening: First harvest of 2010

by admin on February 4th, 2010

Citrus Harvest

Saturday marked the Myra House sustainable gardens first harvest of the 2010 year. The community was in full attendance picking for a couple of hours and gathered buckets full of Pommellos, Kumquats, Tangerines, Oranges and Lemons. There is just something a little different in the eating experience when seeing where the fruit comes from and knowing that it doesn’t travel thousands of miles to get there.  It was great as we got to experience nature first hand and bring a temporary close to the cycle of energy the trees put into making these fruits which are an integral part of sustaining the human race. Understanding the relationship which seems to be a crucial part of staying in balance, giving back to the being, organism or source when it gives to you, I was wondering how to thank these trees which just supplied us with amazing energy.


Mother nature is the most gracious mirror for all who make connections and draw symbolism. With nature embodying this state of pure love and selflessness that we are trying to reconnect with and re-promote at the Myra House, it seems no thank you’s are necessary to properly complete the interaction. A much more complete way to bring a close to the harvest would be to learn from and mimic these all loving tendencies of nature and pass on these gifts of fruit throughout the surrounding communities.  Ecoterra has become a great platform to do this as the health market has essentially become the new age tree.  At Ecoterra, we try to inhabit this mindset that the fruit bearing trees have mirrored to us, to convert our energy into live mediums for others to fuel from and when this cycle is in its perfected state those who give will receive even more.
