Welcome to Questioning Garden
This website has been set up to host two documents written by Nic Pawson. Questioning Garden (1997) and Degeneration of the World’s Soils: And What Happens Next in Global Count-down? (2015) consider good practice in soil management, and recommend urgent long-term radical action in different spheres of our environment. The first document records an experimental allotment project run by Nic over a period of more than 20 years. The second is a sequel, with a focus on growing methods, food and farming. It offers glimpses of an uncertain future beyond an environmental tipping-point. Nic has a unique ability to take a broad global perspective, while showing minute attention to garden-detail, demonstrating practical cultivation methods as well as a vision for a better farming future.
