“We are the living links in a life force that moves and plays around
and through us, binding the deepest soils with the farthest stars.”
Alan Chadwick (1909-1980) - E.M. Schumacher (Small is Beautiful)
called Englishman Alan Chadwick "the greatest horticulturist of the
20th century." Chadwick was a student of Rudolf Steiner, an early
advocate of organics, and founder of French Intensive Biodynamic
System. He railed against the tragic policies of corporate
agribusiness, while cultivating gardens of sublime beauty and
production in the 60's and 70's throughout the United States. Nearly
everyone practicing biodynamics today has been kissed by the Chadwick
transmission.
The Alan Chadwick Biodynamic Archive is housed at Philosophy Farm in
the mountains of North Carolina. In the summer of 2008 we were able to
publish a book of transcriptions of Alan’s talks, Performance in the
Garden, the first in what we hope will be a number of collections
drawn from the 250 or so tapes we have of his lectures.
Come back from time to time as we will be putting up transcriptions of
Alan’s talks, in no particular order. We remain open to any assistance
in editing. The tapes are of varying quality and we do the best we
can. The lectures presented on this site are done with a minimum of
editing, so there may be of of sifting to go through to get to the
heart of things.
We hope to gather photos and testimonials from his students and
publish them here, especially as we go through the centennial of his
birth. Contact us at ramsita@madison.main.nc.us .
“Horticulture is the greatest of all crafts, the art of the creation
of God…the garden leads into the whole of the vision of Nature.”
“The garden is all secrets, the whole miracle of the garden is made up
of secrets, and I’ve been granted the chance to expose a few others to
this incredible ‘thing’ which, itself, is the teacher. It is, you see
– though many people find the idea amusing – the garden that makes the
gardener.”
