The Importance of Plants

In some settings, the natural world has the power to heal human hearts and prevent violence. That statement isn’t based on modern Romanticism, but on a growing body of mainly correlative scientific evidence, most of it with a tight focus on the impact of nearby nature in cities. (Richard Louv, author, blog.childrenandnature.org/2014/12/01)

Quote of the Month:

“Obviously a garden... has a life of its own, an intricate, willful, secret life, as any gardener knows. It is only the humans in it who think of it as a garden. But a garden is a relationship, which is one of the countless reasons why it is never finished.” --W.S. Merwin, American poet, b.1927
