Summer gardening is reaching a crescendo. It always reminds me of how I care for my clients: like my plants, each one is different, each one requires special care, and with the attention they deserve, all blossom beautifully. It’s a very joyful and satisfying ritual that repeats itself each season. And then, over the years, these relationships have transformed into a wonderful garden of clients and friends. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful vocation.
