Hitched a ride with a friend last week to a plant sale at the UC Davis Arboretum Teaching Nursery. I trust the plants they sell will be true to form and live up to the size, use, water, care, and feeding regime stated on the plant labels.
This is a book about Community. This is a book about relationships. This is a book about the poetry of trees. This is a book about the hidden connections of all of us on our planet. And, this is a love song to the natural world and how and we all belong to it.
Over the years we have had a changing relationship with the neighborhood squirrels. Early on there were not many interactions. The housing development was new and there were not any mature trees nearby.
You've probably had a similar experience. You see an interesting plant in a mail-order catalog or nursery website you suddenly desire for your garden. You order it.
