For Treena
The one who shares my table and my bed, the absolute love of my life.
She has chosen the path to wellness rather than going out on her
genetic tide. It is to her that I dedicate my garden and this book with
my ongoing love and care.
And for Gracious Gardeners
My present enthusiasm was made possible by my many
newfound friends and neighbors, who shared their lifetimes
of gardening experience with me.
Please don’t let it stop there!
I have much to learn (and welcome learning ) fr om everyone
who has proven experience. If my newfound ideas are diff erent fr om
yours, then I really want to hear fr om you.
Remember contribution to the common good beats criticism every
time. And the common good is the good we can do in common.
