Why this Blog?

I believe that gardening can be therapeutic. I'm afraid people are intimidated by perfection-loving gardeners and their perfect gardens featured in glossy magazines. Forget all that: find a pot and fill it with some dirt. Buy a plant you find beautiful, strange, fragrant. Put it in the pot. Give it sun or shade and some water and watch it grow. It's good for you. Seriously.
