Notes from the field May 11-17: The potato patch is coming along, St John's wort reaching for the sky at a client stewards property, the floral arrangement season is here, a beautiful mural reminding us of our resilience, a clean up job on a bright and sunny day, and your's truly taking some precious moments with the great French Broad. Spring time is a season of extremes and fullness. I hope for you punctuated nature times of healing and restoration in your garden and in your life.
