Having
gardened for sixty years, earlier in Los Angeles and now on Monterey
Bay, I think I have experienced just about everything that nature
offers those who love to plant. One thing is certain: hardy roses have
stayed healthy in the worse droughts - the kind that need little
maintenance once they are established. The other great gift in my life
has been Australian native plants - imagine growing beautiful plants
that need no water in the summers! The big problem is to convince
people to tear up their lawns and learn to live with the environment
where they garden. Heresy! But you can create a sustainable paradise if
you go with the flow. Bill Grant
