The Coastal Gardener

Also known as Handkerchief Tree or Dove Tree In the winter of 2008-2009 we planted 3 Davidia involucrata in the Moss Family Temperate Woodland Garden at Humboldt Botanical Garden. The trees were in 5 gallon pots so were quite small.

3 tablespoons pine nuts 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 cup onion, julienne 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 pounds Brussels sprouts, stems trimmed, and sliced in half lengthwise 2 tablespoons maple syrup Water, as needed for cooking 1.

Gardening nourishes our body, mind, and soul, and makes us healthy and happy. Watching tiny seeds are growing into the edible plants is both therapeutic and rewarding. However, gardening is not the cultural norm, and many of us do not have basic gardening knowledge and skills.

Growing up as a child the vegetable I dreaded being put on my plate and expected to eat were Brussels sprouts. That dreaded experience always started when I came into the house from playing outside. Opening the door to step inside, I was immediately smacked in the face with that smell.
