    Low-Maintenance Gardening

    Friday, July 17th, 2009

    Those of us who spend warm spring and summer days digging in the soil and getting our fingernails dirty don’t mind a bit of work; after all, as the cartoonist and illustrator Lou Erickson once said, and as we all know, “gardening requires lots of water-most of it in the form of perspiration.” But… »

    YARA-GRCG in July 2009

    Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

    When I wander around gardens I enjoy them for their natural beauty, but I have to admit that I am always drawn to the garden that has an ornament or some decoration placed in it. It tells me something about the gardener and his or her garden’s personality.

    Butterfly Gardening

    Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

    The Tohono O’odham Nation has a legend about the butterfly. As a gift to the people, the Creator took the most beautiful colours in the world, those of the sun, the lakes, the flowers, and the sky, and put them into a bag. When the people opened the bag, hundreds of butterflies flew… »
