Garden Tower Power! ~ An Explosion of Organic Goodness Begins
A quick little Garden Tower Project update:
It’s been fun to pick out what goodies I’d be planting this first go-around…and there will be a learning curve to experience along the way indeed, as I’m definitely no expert gardener. I simply plant by intuition and heart, sprinkle a little magick and water, and ask/hope for the Faeries’ assistance. 😉
But I WILL say it’s been a really playful and enjoyable journey so far, which I feel is the important part of anything we set out to do – make it fun and light!
I’ve been learning a few things along the way and Laura has given me a few helpful hints based on her own learning experience with her Garden Tower and gardening in general.
Plus, I’ve had the supportive energy of the little ones here, especially Cosmo whom I’ve had join me out on the deck during planting, nestled on a towel next to me to watch.
The bunnies are excited for what mom’s growing for them indeed. 🙂
Between the plants we already have here at the house and now the Garden Tower, we’ve got a lot of home-grown organic goodness to enjoy.
Alongside the already peach, persimmon, loquat, tangerine, apple, and lemon trees, blackberries, lavender, sage, lamb’s ears, and recently added peppermint, I now have planted these awesome organic/non-gmo delights in my Garden Tower:
Long Slim Cayenne, Cosmic Purple Carrot, Trailing Rosemary, Chives, Paris Market Carrot, Strawberry Alpine White Soul, White Wonder Heirloom Cucumber, Old German Heirloom Tomato, Loran Strawberry, Heirloom Anaheim Pepper, Basil, Heirloom Sun Gold Tomato, Heirloom Cherokee Purple Tomato, Mesculun Mix Lettuce, Petite Rouge Lettuce, Romaine, Burpless Garden Sweet Cucumber, Curly Parsley, Arcadia Broccoli, Diablo Brussels Sprouts, Pink Gerbera Daisy, Yellow Snapdragon, Yellow/Red/Orange Marigold, and Heirloom Mammoth Greystripe Snack Seed Sunflower.
I’m sure I may have already made some errors, but that’s part of the fun and growth!
Besides giving them all a lot of love, Reiki energy, and nurturing, I’ve added a raw Quartz we found on a trip, that sits at the top center, where the composting goes, to help infuse some energetic support to all the Plant Spirits, and as an offering for the Faeries to assist with their cultivation too.
I’ve been getting the compost going and added my red wiggler worms, which are the essential helpers to the whole Garden Tower system. 
It was a lot of fun lovingly planting the over 60 goodies. My hands were deep in rich soil and my nails were filled with Earthy goodness. The fresh smell is invigorating and caring for my new babies is another commitment I’m devoted to.
Looking forward to seeing how things continue to progress and what I’ll learn and discover along the way, but just look at how everyone’s flourishing!
And I’m happy to report that after a big downpour of rain all last night and continuing this morning, my Garden Tower is still looking beautiful and the plants are holding strong! Yay! And thank you Crystal and Faery friends!

Beautiful, Miss Green Thumb! Amazing how fast everything is growing!
thank you, although only a couple things i did by seed, as my true green thumb – gardening pal laura bruno, who has a garden tower herself, shared some insights and that beginning with little starter plants was actually better. the garden tower project website also says small starter plants is best…so that’s what i did for the things i could find and those i couldn’t that i wanted i did seeds. i will say that they have flourished quite a bit though since planted! so that’s encouraging and that the little plants were strong and happy to keep on a-growin! so yay! so far so good. we’ll see!
Well, given the pictures of the rest of your garden, and the love and sensitivity with Nature that you have, they are happy plants. Who wouldn’t thrive with your nurturing kindness?!
aw, thank you so much mary! you’re so incredibly sweet. i am encouraged by the quick progress and growth already. perhaps you’re right, as although there are things to cultivate, aren’t love and light (sunshine) the foundations for life?
…and water. Haha.
yes, yes!!! hehe! so true!! 😉

Love how you mixed permaculture with a garden tower by adding wood chips and such. Wonderful pics of the process too! xo
big thank yous!! glad you enjoyed them. it’s been such a fun process to sink my hands and heart in! xoox
You’re welcome! We’ve just recently rediscovered the joys of gardening, and found permaculture principles mirrors perfectly how relationships between people can be, and our relationship to all of nature. It all flows back to natural law and following its principles in everything we do. Great work!
