THIS HAS BEEN QUITE A YEAR.
Challenges popping up in my personal life, my physical condition and my businesses. The one constant besides my wonderful children has been the never-ending needs of the never-ending varieties of plants surrounding me and my clients. I am still here. The gardens remain, even though quiet and asleep here on Long Island in New York and the new year is about to unfold for us to make of it what we can.
What will we all be doing to improve our trees, gardens, homes, properties and our selves. I know what I will be doing. I am so excited about the coming year I am bursting at the seams. The visions I have in my head and what I have put on paper give me the belief that my previous 44 years will pale compared to the future. I am bringing my garden ideas and my personal life in alignment so that the gardening world will benefit from all that I have done and learned.

I send all my love and good wishes to all who brush past my words and find something for themselves in what I have to say. I welcome everyone as the new year begins to design questions to challenge all that has been said and done in the past. Together we will stretch and grow as our plants and gardens do the same.
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MAY ALL THAT YOU WORK FOR REWARD YOU AS YOU HAVE IMAGINED.
BE AT PEACE WITH YOURSELF AND THE WORLD AROUND YOU WILL FIND PEACE IN YOUR PRESENCE.
