Grandmas and Gardening

A few friends gathered at Glenda's ( Owner of THE GARDEN and TUMBLEWEED TRADER ) to see her new arrid-scape and to put together the agenda for next season's DESERT GARDENERS meetings.

She has done wonders...grass removal, gravel pathways, introduction of dry land plants and succulents...lots of container planting. The result? A lush, colorful setting. It promises to be one of the highlights on next season's club agenda!

The conversation turned to why we all loved gardening. Glenda said her grandmother had greatly influenced her. She said her grandma even grew a bearing lemon tree from seed! I said the same was true for me...my mother never even got her hands dirty, but my grandmother and my aunt loved to garden. I suppose, no conclusions can be drawn, but it is possible that gardening may be hereditary!
