Noahs Garden is a story of lifes most important lessons as seen through the eyes of a variety of animals and mythical entities, both in nature around us and in our imaginations. It takes us through the life of one stray dog named Jewell as she discovers why her crazy antics cause her own troubles to exist, and how that same energy can be placed on a higher level that would surround her and those she loves most with much goodness. In the process, she runs into the Monster Shadow, the ultimate that exists because of the discarded bad intentions of all those who have gone through Noahs Forest before her as they traveled to the garden and to the discovery of their better selves. With the help of Daffonia, the deer Jewell encounters first when she enters the forest, and many others, including an aggravating little sprite named Tolebit, all the way through the many Eyes of the Forest and to their leader, Astilbe, Jewell has the journey of a lifetime and discovers the true value of learning lifes lessons the hard way. Noahs Garden is about sudden realizations and the learning process we all go through to reach those levels of understanding. It is about self-reflection and defense mechanisms, fixing our flaws and trying to be as good as we can be. It is about understanding ourselves and learning to understand the world around us.

Creation is not a single event in time but a process continual into infinity. The Garden of Eden is part of this process. And as part of this process, it is dispersed and deviated into every region of mans world and does not exist any longer as a single entity. Gods garden on earth is deviated into every region in the world. It is not in one location. Now each garden has, within its own power of creation, accordingly met mankinds needs of the region. In different regions are different plants, yet the same results affect needs and cures. Hence the miracle of the Garden of Eden continues to exist wherever mankind chooses to live. Thus the garden will follow mankind wherever he chooses to live in the universe if it meets his perceived basic needsair (oxygen), potable water, and food.

The passion and urgency that inspired WWI and WWII Victory Gardens is needed today to meet another threat to our food supply and our environment—the steep decline of pollinators. The Pollinator Victory Garden offers practical solutions for winning the war against the demise of these essential animals. Pollinators are critical to our food supply and responsible for the pollination of the vast majority of all flowering plants on our planet. Pollinators include not just bees, but many different types of animals, including insects and mammals. Beetles, bats, birds, butterflies, moths, flies, and wasps can be pollinators. But, many pollinators are in trouble, and the reality is that most of our landscapes have little to offer them. Our residential and commercial landscapes are filled with vast green pollinator deserts, better known as lawns. These monotonous green expanses are ecological wastelands for bees and other pollinators. With The Pollinator Victory Garden, you can give pollinators a fighting chance. Learn how to transition your landscape into a pollinator haven by creating a habitat that includes pollinator nutrition, larval host plants for butterflies and moths, and areas for egg laying, nesting, sheltering, overwintering, resting, and warming. Find a wealth of information to support pollinators while improving the environment around you: • The importance of pollinators and the specific threats to their survival• How to provide food for pollinators using native perennials, trees, and shrubs that bloom in succession• Detailed profiles of the major pollinator types and how to attract and support each one• Tips for creating and growing a Pollinator Victory Garden, including site assessment, planning, and planting goals• Project ideas like pollinator islands, enriched landscape edges, revamped foundation plantings, meadowscapes, and other pollinator-friendly lawn alternatives The time is right for a new gardening movement.
