Thank You for Your Comments!
Your comments, tweets and emails are greatly appreciated, it is fun to hear from you and helpful to know what is on your mind.
My goal is to help you become comfortable (again) with nature and to remind you of how interdependent we all are.
If you already garden, then my goal is to help you better understand how we all contribute to this giant interdependent ecosystem we call home and how we can develop even more skills to deal with our rapidly changing climate.
If you would like to share a comment, please feel free to contact me. Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you! Charlotte
