Gasteropoets will prevail over climatologists!
Scientific experts are predicting a hot and dry future. Water will become increasingly scarce and deserts commonplace. Elsewhere there will be ice, storms and tornadoes…
These are forecasts of the future, but there’s no doubt we’ll cope.
This Snail’s Dune is here to reassure us by offering a solution for our gardens, a poetic answer, an inexpensive resource, with zero watering required.
Snails are wise and slow, their life is ahead of them. They are our backyard poets, scribbling silver poems on the lettuce heads in the vegetable garden or on their snail friends’ shells…
Like snails, dunes are quiet. They also like to travel slowly, using the wind as their engine, just like snails use the rain. Snails and dunes get along together just fine…
