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.

Animotion, a snapshot of the Fringe of Edinburgh
What I learned as I watched the light of a painter smear oil paints masterfully over the façade of the courtyard of an old stone abbey:
“Art is something that was that will never be again. But then becomes the journey to find it again.”
She brought her paintings to life in vibrant colors and great strokes but then could quickly wipe them away, change them as the musicians created music that was and never would be again. I was able to understand art for the first time in my life.
