He has designed and managed gardens in Camphill Village Copake, the Center for Discovery, and Churchtown Dairy. Jean-David, together with his wife Karen, lived and worked in the Le Beal Camphill Community in France and Camphill Village Copake for over 25 years.
Ben Davis has 28 years of experience in biodynamic agriculture, as well as senior-level management in operations, development, and nonprofit management. Ben, together with his wife, Valeska, and family, has lived and worked in Botton Village in the United Kingdom and at Triform Camphill Community in Hudson, NY.
OUR MISSION…
… is to create gardens of healing that welcome all who enter to connect with the goodness of plants. Through the truthfulness expressed in their forms, colors, scents and energies, plants have the ability to enliven, nourish and heal. With sensitively designed landscapes, biodynamic practice, and a workshop where they are carefully transformed into remedies, we strengthen the healing light that may grow between people and plants.
AT THE HEART OF THIS WORK…
…lies the intention to open the world of plants to those seeking counsel from nature. The increasing abstraction of our time calls for balance through connection to Life. There is no doubt that a garden with a multitude of carefully tended plants - each a silent counselor- can offer space for this connection to occur. Simply being near plants allows a magical transfer of peace and contentment to permeate one’s soul…This is a text block.
