willing to make a change to a way of gardening that more closely mimics nature. 

Nature’s ecosystems always include not only annual vegetables, but also 
perennials — edible roots, shoots, leaves, flowers and fruits that produce year 
after year. Besides fruit-bearing trees and shrubs, more than 100 species of 
perennial vegetables grow well in North America.
