“Gardening seems to act as a great equalizer. We have all had successes and failures in the garden, suffered through droughts, harsh winters and the browsing of deer. Yet rather than give up, we try new plants, new strategies and new techniques, always hopeful we can find a way to accomplish the impossible. Then, almost to the point of being obnoxious, we are willing to share our successes and the way they were achieved with anyone who will listen. May we all take this love and determination to all that we do every day, both in and out of the garden.” —Scott Jamison
