“A community spiral garden can represent the reciprocal nature of growth between the community and the earth, the importance of place-specific knowledge and memory, or the importance of community self-reflection and gratitude. At JK Willis’s farm in Chattanooga, TN, a spiral garden holds even more: the legacy of a dear friend, the health and prosperity of a community, the life-changing effects of injury, and a fierce, unbendable dedication to growth.”

Ingredients of a perfect farm meal:

• Fresh-picked tomatoes,

• Garlic, with that special taste only farm garlic can have,

• Straw hats hung on the door,

• One old farm dog,

• Many helping hands, only a little dirty,

• A couple curious cats,

• A family, as big and loud as possible, and whatever other ingredients they bring to the table.
