environment news - mountain stories Living proof that the best gardener is nature itself, even high in the Alps. A huge "Eden" type
garden is growing around 4,500 feet up in the coldest area of the Austrian
Alps. Defying all gardening and agricultural text book formalities,
Sepp Holzer is showing how mother nature knows best. He has randomly
planted a vast mixture of tropical plants and grasses on the slopes
of his steep alpine pastures. The results have been an incredible array
of crops, trees and plants, all which the "experts" would have said
was impossible, particularly due to the poor soil and of course the
annual average alpine temperature of 4 degrees celcius! Looking-Glass comments: This site strongly believes in natural, free range gardening methods, and Holzer's extreme example shows how simple it can be. People with city gardens in most parts of the world could encourage an abundance of natural life from randomly planting flowers, trees and grasses. The flora and fauna will thrive…. if left alone!
