“Your passion for writing and love for your subjects are important contributions to the human thought bank. My interests in the garden are tangled with the all the human emotions — joy, passion, sorrow, surprise and wonder — and how they affect our lives. I have searched for an outlet to express how I (and others) feel when surrounded by beautiful places. Writing and lecturing may be the outlet. Thanks for interrupting my life and giving me a boost.” — Michael Schoeller
