Planting for the Future




About forty years ago a person I have never met planted these hydrangeas in my back yard. Ever since, despite a little benign neglect, they have bloomed profusely come rain or shine.

For most of what we planted forty years ago ourselves, we will never know what pleasure (or pain) it might be granting others today. And I'm not thinking just about plants!

So true, and what a beautiful thought to keep in mind when planting or when gazing upon plants left by others.
