Re: [GWL]: Are gardeners cheap?

Dear Yvonne:

    Working on the Design and Installation side of the industry, I have a
view from my business management desk that true gardeners who use our
services are passionate not cheap.  They indulge their passions with more
regard to principles than pocketbook.  As for me personally, although my
children aren't barefoot, my garden is much more richly dressed...
