The garden and seed catalogs are arriving daily and as the Earth sleeps and renews herself, I am consumed with planning colorful, lush gardens. Gardens are an extension of the gardener.

Period gardens are displayed at museums and historical sites depicting the plants necessary for household use and medicine and teach us much about our agrarian roots.
