Kathy’s Garden Writing |
|
I've always loved to garden, and have learned most of what I know from reading garden writers' experiences, as well as from the trial and error experiments of a thirty year span of mucking about in every plot of ground I could call my own. When I retired in 2007 from my work as a psychologist, I decided to share some of my own gardening adventures and know-how with others. Thus was born a column titled "Green Thumb Therapy", published in the Danville Daily Item. Writing about my garden helps me "grow" as a gardener, and hopefully as a writer, measured I guess by the pleasure both ventures give to me and others. I sincerely hope this little selection of writings pleases you, and perhaps inspires a visit to the garden research station we call Skymeadow Farm.
