“Plants are also integral to reweaving
the connection between land and people.
A place becomes a home when it sustains you,
when it feeds you in body as well as spirit.
To recreate a home, the plants must also return.”

“I have a very simple arrangement with my plants:
I give them love and they give me flowers.”

“Groom yourself and your life like a shrub.
Trim off the edges and you’ll be stronger
in the broken places.
Embrace the new growth
and blossom at the tips.”

“Sometimes I wish I could photosynthesize
so that just by being, just by shimmering
at the meadow’s edge or floating lazily
on a pond, I could be doing the work of the world
while standing silent in the sun.”
