But I digress. Creative gardening begins with questions, some inner-looking. What kinds of plants am I drawn to in other gardens and in picture books. Other questions are more practical. No one sits down, answers a series a questions and, voila, the garden is sorted out once and for all.
Gardening is about process.
At heart, it is a romantic quest, a striving after an ideal. The goal is simply beauty, a kind of possible impossible dream that begins to slip away even as you achieve it.
