About
HORTICULTURAL Arts
Emy Maloutas has been working with plants for the last 26 years in a variety of capacities.
Initially studying Forestry and wildlife biology on the central coast of California she realized that she was not interested in how many board feet came out of a felled tree and saw more value in its continued existence as a tree. During this time she became a certified permaculture design in 1997 in Santa Cruz from the Institute of Ecological Agriculture. Transferring schools she pivoted her focus to Humanities with an emphasis in ecology, sustainability and culture for her final year of under graduate studies,. For her thesis she focused on managing an organic apple orchard that was somewhat farrel with 100 year old trees. She was in spired by Masinobu Fukuoka "one Straw Revolution."
Food Forest
Growing a diverse and beautiful food forest with regenerative agriculture practices on Pine Island in Bokeelia, FL. is my devotion to Mother Earth, her creatures and my community.
It is the reciprocal relationship of feeding the plants, feeding the ponies and bunnies and feeding my body and soul that make this food forest so rewarding.
Fruit are gathered and sold seasonally and flower essences are made and sold online and at local events.
Growing Health
We know that plants grown in living soil with sustainable farming practices is how we grow real food for health. We are stewards of this land, caring for the health of the planet and our community.
I am grateful to be able to support plants that grow food and medicine to nourishes our bodies and make flower essences that support our souls.
Thank you for supporting my practice in living a plant guided life.
Plants as Teacher
