Brenton Point, Aquidneck Island, RI |
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.

Adventures in the Polly Mobile 2: Fairhaven and New Bedford, MA and Aquidneck Island, RI
Honestly, looking back on this day, it hardly seems like it could fit all of what happened in it.
I woke up in Fairhaven, MA; visited sites in Fairhaven and New Bedford, MA; and then made my way to Newport, RI and got the grand tour of Aquidneck Island, RI; and finally rested my head in Portsmouth, RI. Whew! Not as much horticulture today, but goodness did I get a sense of place. Check out the photos for more adventures (click the photo above).
