In June this last year, I traveled to Denver for the AWSNA national conference. I spent time there in the Denver Botanical Gardens and looking at home gardens all around the city, observing plants that grow well in the "Front Range" of the Rockies: yarrow, sunset hyssop, sunflowers, yucca, sedum, torch lily. Some of these plants are versions of ones I can grow in Vermont. Most are different, and the feeling they create in me as I study them is completely different than the feeling I have looking at a New England summer garden.
Plants in my garden have so many resources to use, they can be lavish with their blossoms! Plants at that high elevation use resources more efficiently. The image is from the memory of a class campfire in May! - Abigail (Vermont) |

June was a month where we experienced relative peace and quiet after quite difficult travels. It felt good to be back to a daily routine and a healthy rhythm in spite of a certain uncertainty that was felt like an undercurrent that only sometimes was experienced in full consciousness.
