Excerpt from In the Garden<\/h2>\n

“We often do things without realizing how our actions influence others. I never realized when I turned into the driveway to meet the gardener with the beautiful flowerbeds that it would lead me on the path to becoming a flower gardener. My friend never realized by investing time in me, her gifts of flowers would one day bring people to my gardens to hear the story about the giver of the pass-along plants.”<\/p>\n
