Loved this. I want to plant trees and flowers, at the moment I cannot do much physically due to back surgery, but I will..

My family did this together for my son’s Boy Scout group. It was a lot of fun and extremely rewarding.

For over a decade, I have supported the Sierra Club. i visited them at the SFO HQ with one of my clients. We developed a licensing agreement for their logo to be used on brake cartons. Many brake materials contain copper. The brake dust ultimately makes its way into the water. In San Francisco they actually banned the use of copper in architectural cases (gutters/downspouts) because of this concern about copper placing fish in danger by upsetting the food chain. Trees are a massive part of our eco system. For many years, we gave friends and family a tree as a house warming gift. I appreciate your article very much. As we serve our global clients, my wife and I strive to visit the best gardens we can find. For example, when working a race at Le Mans in France, we dedicated a day trip to study the estate of Claude Monet. He petitioned the village to run the river into his land then he and his team built the lily ponds that he so famously painted. Like his art, he initiated a unique and creative garden style using depth and elevation of plants to create flowing layers of different species. Learning while traveling is such fun.

I only have a bunch of daffodils in my front lawn, I am not good with plants but I want to get some indoor plants as well. My tree is still dry from the winter! ❄️

Yara, daffodils are great! I recently moved and am very gradually rebuilding indoor and outdoor gardens too. It is definitely a perpetual work in progress! Keep at it!
