Well, this year has already challenged, and changed, a lot of my future plans. That is not to say that I am giving up by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, quite the contrary. (Martha's Vineyard, here I come!)
The challenge has prompted me to go forward with a different sense of gusto, and part of that is to challenge myself is to keep some kind of horticultural blog of the wonderful things I get to see each day in the field (wherever that might be!). The field could be the Method Road Greenhouses, my own room, any location during a walk, a garden or the wilderness. It is all connected, serendipitously, in some way, so I'll try to take a few moments to relish in this with one of my loves: photography.
For the first day's view, check out the photo slideshow below!
Horticulture: the word is derived from the Latin noun 'hortus,' meaning 'garden,' and the Latin verb 'colere,' meaning 'to foster, maintain or cultivate.' 'Colere' evolved into the word 'culture' in Middle English, and to this day culture is what we use to describe the life around us. By surrounding ourselves with the culture of the garden, whatever you deem a garden, we are able to be in touch the closest thing to Nature itself.
