Gardening Philosophy

cbeckRelax and enjoy your garden. No one else sees all the problems you see; they see your beautiful plants and your successes. And if they are judging you then never invite them back again! - Connie Beck

My Favorite Activity in the Garden

rvanderhoffI love potting and re-potting, as well as propagating new plants. - Ron Vanderhoff

If I Could Only Grow One Plant ...

grubinThat's the thing - you can't grow only one plant with natives. You have to establish a symbiotic plant community of at least 5 plants to provide the biodiversity required for long term stability and mutualistic support. This is a very important concept that has frankly been ignored by horticulture. - Greg Rubin
