How to Sleep “Over” a Garden
Most people might have slept “in” a garden yet how many do you know have slept “over” one? Jane Hutton (FoodCycles latest member) and her partner Adrian designed an award winning sleep-above-the-garden net as part of the 10th Edition of the International Garden Festival at Les Jardins de Métis in Grand-Métis, Quebec. The festival runs from June 27th to October 4th, 2009 and Jane says the Gaspe is an absolutely amazing place to visit.

A previous study on the health benefits between organic and your usual supermarket produce may have got it all wrong! They found no different – the problem was that they did the test on soil that was previously organically managed which would have made both conventional or organic crops about the same!
