One of the reasons I love public horticulture is the opportunity for new experiences. This past Saturday afforded me just that. We had a booking for a private tour for a group with visual impairments. I did my best to prepare for this unusual engagement, but in the end I was left surprised and pleased while wholly out of my depth. They taught me that bright colors are best. To say "look at your 12 o'clock" instead of "look ahead" .
What's so interesting about soil?
As a gardener, this is a loaded question, which elicits a passionate response!
And as the weather warms, and I roll up my sleeves to head outdoors to begin gardening, it 's the perfect time to reflect on the question.
What smells like a skunk and looks like a pineapple?
And, no, it's not a pineapple that was sprayed by a skunk.
