Did you know weeds can be useful clues 🔎?

In permaculture, we don’t just ask, “How do I get rid of weeds?” We ask, “What is this plant trying to do for this soil?” Many weeds are pioneer plants. That means they show up to cover bare ground, protect the soil, break up compaction, and cycle nutrients back into the system.

Instead of fighting an endless weeding battle, focus on shifting the conditions that invite weeds in:

🌿 Keep soil covered (mulch + groundcovers)
✂️ Chop-and-drop instead of digging weeds out
🌱 Plant densely so your chosen plants outcompete
🍂 Build soil health so the system stabilises over time

Less war on weeds and more design that makes weeds unnecessary! 🙌

🌿 Even the most critically ill patients need green.
King’s College Hospital in London has just opened the UK’s first outdoor Critical Care Roof Garden, where patients on full life support can lie beneath open sky, surrounded by rosemary, sage, and native plants, breathing fresh air.
The results? Research shows time in nature reduces delirium, lowers blood pressure, and lifts spirits even for the most seriously unwell.
Science is catching up with what gardeners have always known: growing things heals people.
At GFS Perth - www.gfsperth.com.au - we believe caring for creation and caring for each other are the same act.
🌱 Who needs a bit of green today?

I heard the ambulance siren getting closer. And then a voice: ‘Where do you live? We’ll take your bike home for you’
