"Photography is not about cameras, gadgets, and gismos. Photography is about photographers. A camera didn't make a picture any more than a typewriter wrote a great novel."

"To create a garden is to search for a better world. In our effort to improve on nature, we are guided by a vision of paradise. Whether the result is a horticultural masterpiece or only a modest vegetable patch, it is based on the expectation of a glorious future. This hope for the future is at the heart of all gardening."----Marina Schinz

Far more than herbs and flowers.

And joy for weary hours."
