"Hope is the lesson Nature keeps teaching me.""Hope is the lesson Nature keeps teaching me. She keeps producing. She recovers. She creates beauty out of loss. She forgives us our impatience and frustration and insistence that things turn out the way we planned. They don't. They turn out the way she planned. We need to be willing to sacrifice control to learn adaptation." Joan Gussow, from her book Growing, Older: A Chronicle of Death, Life, and Vegetables (links to Amazon).Community Garden ConferenceThe Community Garden Conference is just a month away (Saturday, March 2nd).
