A Stroll Through the Dome (with a taste of flowers)

One of the most interesting features at the Brew Creek Centre—where the Callanish cancer retreat was held one week ago—is the farm. They grow organic vegetables both indoors and outdoors, supplying fine restaurants and a few exclusive local grocery stores.

I visited one of their two geodesic growing domes. The air inside was pleasantly warm and humid, almost like a tropical garden. By coincidence, one of the growers was tending the dome at the time, and she kindly showed me around. She explained that this particular dome is devoted to edible flowers and plants used to decorate cocktails and dishes at upscale restaurants. The ones I’m munching on in the photo tasted a bit like radish.
