The Landscape Narrative Project
In an effort to increase awareness of our cultural landscape heritage, the CLDS is launching the Landscape Narrative Project. This project will result in a collection of personal memoirs documenting the meaning and memory of everyday landscapes.
Are there any gardens or landscapes that hold special meaning in your life? What about a garden of a close friend or family member? If so, the CLDS would like to hear about it.
For instance, was there a special place from your childhood where you felt free to explore nature, let your imagination wander, or just simply pass the time and feel truly at peace? Or what about your grandmother's vegetable garden, where you learned how to plant seeds, watch them grow, and eat juicy tomatoes that were still warm from the sun? Is there a small patch of woodland with a creek where you and your dad would throw stones to see who made the biggest splash? What memories may the smell of chives conjure up when you brush past them?
Landscapes have memories associated with them and in many instances, these places have helped shape who we are and how we understand the world. The Landscape Narrative Project is an attempt to document both historic and contemporary accounts of these special places and share them with others in the hope that it will help raise the collective consciousness of how very important everyday landscapes are to our lives.
Please take a few moments to share your memories by posting them as a comment on the CLDS Blog site. If you have a photo or sketch of this special place, you may attach it to an email and send them to info@DigCLDS.org and we will post it along with your memoir. Kids are encouraged to post their accounts as well, and a sketch or drawing to accompany these are especially welcome. Eventually, the CLDS will publish a select number of these memoirs in a booklet that will be available for others to purchase, give as a gift, or share with your family.
If you have any questions or comments pertaining to the Landscape Narrative Project, please email Krista Schneider at info@DigCLDS.org.

Oh my-MEMORIES!!! Where to even start???
Gardening has always been a HUGE part of my life-growing up as a child, and now as an adult, raising my own children!!!
Born in 1970, to 2 parents who came from "economically-disadvantaged" families, growing plants was a way of life!!! I grew up with a huge vegetable garden in my backyard (Lattimer Mines), and one of my earliest "chores" was watering it!!! Then helping with picking, washing, storing, and CANNING-a lost art!!! My favorite fresh veggie to this day is peas!!! In a pod, and eaten fresh!!! Can't beat that!!!
Herbs-Mint, mint and more mint!!! We always had a ton of that growing along the house-my job was always to make "Sun-tea" and throw the leaves in!!!
Fruit-my family played around with fruit trees/plants a lot!!! Seems that the only thing that ever took off was grapes-with that went some wine-making!!!
Trees-my mom had an unrequieted love for the Weeping Willow...let's just say that it didn't work out!!! LOL!!!
Flowers-AH...my true love!!! My mom's passion!!! Seems she planted flowers EVERYWHERE!!! And for every season!!! Just when you least expected it, something would pop up somewhere!!!
House plants-I must admit how much I love them too!!! Face it-this area is DREARY, and there's nothing better than being surrounded by beautiful green plants all year round, right in your own home &/or office space!!!
Hmm...the more I think about it, the more I realize just how important plants and growing things are to me!!! This is what I hope to give to my children-the love of growing things/nature/sustainability/responsibility for the earth/you get my jist...
If I had to "list" my five most favorite memories on this subject, they would be the following:
SIGHT-the sight of a gorgeous flower garden-no matter how small the effort!!!
SMELL-the smell of lily-of-the-valley, lilacs, snapdragons, certain day-lilies, damn I love flowers!!!
TOUCH-the feel of certain petals/leaves in your hands!!!
TASTE-just give me totally fresh, home-grown veggies thank you!!!
SOUND-hear the water dripping off what you just watered/bugs a munching...
Ah...
