Re: Who's the Audience

**M* L* <m*@earthlink.net>**

Just received a release from Blooms of Bressingham (by Stephanie Cohen and
Christine Kelleher) that begins, "Instant gratification -- we all want it,
even in the garden....(just ask) the Sacramento family who received a
dramatic garden makeover at their historic home in a single day."
These fast-replay TV "yard makeovers" may be the source of the wanting "a"
garden, not "to" garden. I've heard these yard makeovers last an average
of 6 months. People don't know how to care for the plants, neglect
watering, etc. It would be doing customers a huge favor to tell them how
to care for these planted containers when they get them home, even though
most won't follow instructions. They lose the plants, then hate
gardening. Sigh. Margaret Lauterbach
