The Garden Geek Manifesto

I believe that…

…gardens can be made on rooftops and cracks in the pavement.

…enjoying time with family and friends in the yard is worth more than the time spent making it comfortable.

…no gardener can go to a nursery and come home empty handed.

…if it flowers I will try to grow it.

…children hold the future of our planet in there hands.

…it is in our best interest to take care of mother earth.

…orange flowers can be seen from outer space.

…sunflowers hold the answer to the universe - to a five year old.

…dogs are gifted and natural diggers.

…you will bury or loose your hand trowel at least once on the weekend.

…the center of your universe can be in your back yard.

…gardening is the cheapest and best type of therapy.

…gardening keeps you young and flexible at 95 years of age.

…at every passionate gardeners home there is a mandatory tour lead at the arrival of each guest.

…you will be at a loss to end a conversation if you bring up the topic of gardening with a gardener.
